minutes of beauty.
An
intense Pas de deux danced to music by Gustav Mahler, Urlicht
evokes our intrinsic need to return to the light of creation. This
first ballet by William Forsythe was created in 1976, while he
was dancing with the Stuttgart Ballet. Featuring Jason
Reilly (if anyone recognizes
the ballerina, please let me know).
