$40-$130
- Emil de Cou, conductor
Owen Belton / Bernard Herrmann / Crystal Pite — Plot Point
Uysses Dove / Arvo Pärt — Dancing on the Front Porch of Heaven (Odes to Love and Loss)
The Joyce Theater returns to Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater to present Pacific Northwest Ballet, led since 2005 by former New York City Ballet principal dancer Peter Boal.
Dancing on the Front Porch of Heaven (Odes to Love and Loss), Dove’s poetic monument to those he has loved, set to the score of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, is juxtaposed with Pite’s Plot Point, a chilling choreographic exploration of the cinematic score of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.
Twyla Tharp’s Waiting at the Station, set to songs by R&B legend Allen Toussaint, follows a man in 1940s New Orleans as he attempts to connect with his son before he must surrender to the three gilded Fates that seek him out.
All performances will be accompanied by the PNB Orchestra under the music direction of Principal Conductor Emil de Cou.
Tickets range in price from $40 to $130. In celebration of The Joyce’s 40th anniversary and PNB’s 50th anniversary, the majority of tickets will be offered for $40 and $50 to audiences.
Running time: Approximately 2 hours and 13 minutes with two intermissions.
