Alexei Ratmansky, former director of the Bolshoi Ballet and currently artist in residence at American Ballet Theatre, choreographed this piece for ten dancers to the famous music by Modest Mussorgsky in 2014.
Ratmansky described the ballet as a tribute to a dying friend with each picture representing a different part of the friend’s life.
The set uses projections based on Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky’s Color Study Squares with Concentric Circles, 1913.
French couture fashion designer Adeline Andre did the costumes.
Year of the Rabbit
Peck’s second piece for NYCB is based on Peck’s Tales of a Chinese Zodiac (2010). It premiered in Fall 2012 to music by Sufjan Stevens, orchestrated by Michael P. Atkinson.
