Lia Cirio's After

Set to Auerbach’s dystopic 24 Preludes for violin and piano selection for violin and piano selection, Lia Cirio’s After is both personal and haunting. With a live pianist and violinist, dancers move in and out of delicate formations in pale gray costumes in front of a custom life-size sculpture by John Farrell. See how the ballet comes together as a haunting portrayal of life’s delicate nature in SPRING EXPERIENCE, May 7-17, 2026.

“This piece, my second for the Boston Ballet main stage, reflects everything I’ve learned as a professional dancer.”
