A pioneer in ballet creativity since its birth in 1956, The Joffrey Ballet flexes its muscles as one of the world’s most illustrious dance companies in an edgy and passionate program by contemporary choreographers. The program includes two intensely sensual new works: the white-hot Age of Innocence, created especially for the Joffrey by a brilliant new voice in American dance, Edwaard Liang, and the erotic yet spiritual After the Rain by British choreographer Christopher Wheeldon. The program also features a work that in the past quarter century has become a modern classic, the explosive In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated by American choreographer William Forsythe, who pushes ballet to its limits with rapid-fire virtuosity.
