The Story of Firebird
Firebird is back after a 20-year hiatus! Ming Cho Lee’s breathtaking sets, the epic Stravinsky score, and choreography from PNB Founding Artistic Director Kent Stowell work in harmony in this theatrical one-act ballet. Balanced perfectly by Alejandro Cerrudo’s most playful work, Little mortal jump, and the rock ‘n roll drama of Ulysses Dove’s Red Angels, this fiery production will keep you on your toes from start to finish.
[Little mortal jump is] a dance full of quirky surprises, and it seems to create a magical world of spinning boxes and delicately superhuman dancers, their movements glimmering in the dim light.
