Performer: Lar Lubovitch Dance Company

New York City Center’s annual Fall for Dance festival heads online in a pair of programs, one much stronger than the other. 

At its best, Lubovitch's work elevates the spirit and serves as a reminder that there’s beauty in the world.

In the Joyce Theater’s Wednesday night program for the 45th anniversary of Lar Lubovitch’s company, Mr Lubovitch presented three duets – bits of fluff, really – and one enigmatic piece for nine men that has left me bewildered and yet decidedly in favor of it.
