Joffrey Ballet: Unique Voices Tickets

Maninyas
Choreographer: Stanton Welch
Music: Ross Edwards
Contemporary in design and abstract in
nature, Maninyas is a powerful, exotic
and passionate ballet that explores the
sometimes frightening process of revealing
oneself layer by layer in a relationship.

The Man in Black
Choreographer: James Kudelka
Music: Johnny Cash
Six of Cash’s later songs are given visual
resonance in a suite of dances for an
ensemble of dancers,  all in cowboy boots. The choreography riffs off several popular American country-western dance styles.

Tulle
Choreographer: Alexander Ekman
Music: Mikael Karlsson
.
Featuring the full Joffrey company, voiceover
commentary and three large onstage
LED screens, this is a ballet about ballet. Part
homage and part tongue-in-cheek critique,
Ekman displays his fresh wit and serious craft.
