21ST CENTURY CHOREOGRAPHERS

"Highlighting NYCB’s dedication to new work, two recent hits accompany a winter premiere. Pictures at an Exhibition pushes its dancers to new extremes in a world both tender and tenacious. Youthful and prismatic, Year of the Rabbit answers Sufjan Stevens’ orchestration with layered architectures that weave six featured dancers into the corps de ballet."
