In 2005, Boston Ballet commissioned its first work by Helen Pickett, Etesian. She has since choreographed pieces for Washington Ballet and Sacramento Ballet, among others. The music for Pickett’s new piece is a juxtaposition of classical Eastern Indian music with that of Western minimalist composers. Twenty dancers perform to music by Michael Nyman's Samhitha, Jan Garbarek and Philip Glass in a work inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper, fashion, and E.E. Cummings’ poems.
