The
Guggenheim Museum in New York offers the following ballet events as

Works
& Process Rotunda Project: Daniil Simkin: Falls the Shadow
September
4 and 5, 2017 at 8 pm and 9:30 pm

production featuring Simkin, ABT soloist Cassandra Trenary, Hubbard
Street dancer Ana Lopez, and Brett Conway; choreography by Alejandro
Cerrudo; projection design by Dmitrij Simkin; and costume design by
Dior. The performers’ movements will be captured in real time by
motion sensors, generating 3-D mapped visuals projected onto the
surface of the rotunda to create an immersive experience that merges
technology, music, visual art, fashion, and dance.

30-minute performance will be viewed from the ramps and requires
audience members to stand for the duration of the program.
