Featured Ballets

Stillness

Choreography: Nayon Iovino 

Music: Polar Suite by Christel Veraart 

 

In Stillness, Resident Choreographer Nayon Iovino creates a new work that bridges two contrasting worlds: Arctic quiet and desert energy. Set to the cinematic, atmospheric album Polar Suite by composer Christel Veraart, this sculptural and fluid choreography transforms the garden into a space where frozen landscapes meet Southwestern vibrancy, offering a contemplative dialogue between nature, movement, and sound. 

Gnawa

Choreography: Nacho Duato 

Music: Gift of the Gnawa, “Ma’Bud Allah” by Hassan Hakmoun/Adam Rudolph ; Finis Africae, “Carauari” by Juan Alberto Arteche and Javier Paxariño; Nafas, “Window” by Rabih Abou-Khalil, Velez, Kusur and Sarkissian 

 

Gnawa is a powerful ensemble, inspired by the spiritual traditions and rhythms of North Africa and the Mediterranean. Grounded, fluid, and richly atmospheric, the choreography unfolds with raw energy and organic beauty, evoking both the landscape and the spirit of its people.
