By moonlight, a woman confesses to her lover that she is carrying another man’s child. The young Schoenberg composed a now-famous post-Romantic score, celebrated for its poetry and unbridled lyricism. La Nuit transfigurée set Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s imagination ablaze: she choreographed it as a boldly passionate love story – one that unfolds under the moonlight of a transfigured night. Night, too, has the power to blur the lines of reality.

William Forsythe has ceaselessly challenged his native language – classical ballet – in order to forge his own grammar. With Workwithinwork, one of the most influential American choreographers of his generation sweeps dancers and audiences alike into a continuum of sensation that constantly defies expectation and radiates modernity. Set to Luciano Berio’s Duos for Two Violins, this virtuosic pointe work transforms the academic vocabulary into a true playground, shaping an ever-evolving laboratory.
