Petite Mort
Choreographer: Jiří Kylián | Music: W.A. Mozart
...Petite Mort is an intimate and sensual reflection on the ephemeral nature of life and love. A long-time teacher and mentor of Stanton Welch, Jirí Kylián artfully weaves in subtle sensualism with the overall contemplation on life and death. This work was to commemorate the bicentennial of Mozart’s death. Set to two of Mozart’s most beloved piano concertos, this striking ballet features six women, six men, and six fencing foils—each playing a pivotal role in the choreography..."
Broken Wings
Choreographer: Annabelle Lopez Ochoa | Music: Peter Salem
Concluding the program, Broken Wings .. ballet inspired by the life and work of iconic Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Originally created for English National Ballet in 2015, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s narrative ballet blends surrealism, symbolism, and folk tradition to honor Kahlo’s unflinching self‑expression and fierce resilience. With original music by Peter Salem, this vivid work transforms Kahlo’s pain and passion into a kaleidoscopic stage portrait that is bold and uncompromising.
