Storytelling In Motion

Choreography: Nacho Duato, Helen Pickett and Yoshiaki Nakano | Music: Claude Debussy and John Corigliano

The 22 – 23 season kicks off with a taste of the world in Pittsburgh, highlighting innovative, thought-provoking and athletic performances. Nacho Duato’s Duende was inspired by Debussy’s ethereal score, creating a sculptural piece in which physical movement and sound are one. Helen Pickett’s The Exiled takes a departure from the ballet norms with a dramatic story that examines the complexity of human morality through a combination of ballet and narration. Finally, PBT’s Yoshiaki Nakano offers a world premiere showcasing his fellow dancers’ strength and technique.
