A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...Story Time deconstructs fairy tales and myths to uncover the deeply human narratives beneath them. Like a book of collected stories, the choreography is purposefully episodic; each chapter introduces new terrain—psychological, physical, and spiritual—tracing the arcs of a cast of heroes and protagonists who are always changing. Dancers shape-shift from scene to scene, embodying conflicting roles and reminding us that within each of us lies the potential for both hero and villain, destruction and grace..."
