Bella Figura features an extraordinary collection of works by three of the world’s most exciting contemporary choreographers.
The program begins with William Forsythe’s The Second Detail, a company and U.S. premiere.
Helen Pickett also presents three works, Pärt I, II and III, all set to music by Arvo Pärt.
Nissinen headlines the program with a work by Jirí Kylián.
Bella Figura is tangibly sensual in its adoration and reverence towards the human body. It has not been performed by any other American company. The Los Angeles Times wrote of it, “in an increasingly dark world, [Kylián’s] dancers are beautiful enough to give almost anyone renewed faith.”
