BalletX, Philadelphia’s Premier Contemporary Ballet, will present an extended two-week run of its SUMMER SERIES 2016 at The Wilma Theater. The SUMMER SERIES brings together two powerhouse choreographers, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and Matthew Neenan, with virtual art shop Klip Collective.
MATTHEW NEENAN, World Premiere
The interplay of light and dark form the backdrop for a tribute to the life of a dear friend. When Toni Hamilton passed away after a battle with Alzheimer’s, Neenan was entrusted with a collection of her manuscripts, introducing him to a side of his friend he never knew in life and inspiring this meditation on creativity, memory, and the unbreakable human spirit.
ANNABELLE LOPEZ OCHOA, World Premiere
The journey of a lone man into the world of surrealist artist Rene Magritte, encompassing skyscapes of bowler hats, apples, and windows where the dancers interact with what's real, and not-so-real. Ochoa's abstract and virtuosic movement creates what she calls "constructed chaos," a compelling counterpoint to Magritte's canvas of mysterious poetic objects.
KLIP COLLECTIVE integrates immersive projection lighting and technology with storytelling to create compelling experiences, which have been commissioned by Sundance Film Festival, Philadelphia Flower Show, Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, and Longwood Gardens.
