Room with a View with Ballet national de Marseille: without purpose

Justin Peck's Copland Dance Episodes is 80 minutes of freewheeling!

Von Erin Bomboy, 29 Januar 2023
Over twenty-two vignettes, some long, others short, a cast of thirty pedestrianizes ballet. The work suggests that who you are matters more than what you do.
