Trois Gnossiennes
In Van Manen’s stunning pas de deux, the audience is invited to explore the relationship between music and dance. Performing Erik Satie’s masterful work for the piano, the pianist is center stage with a pair of dancers as the trio reveals the harmony and tension that manifests in physical movement and musical texture.

Bach Cello Suites
Bach Cello Suites is built on a classical foundation but filled with beautiful nuance and eccentricities. Accompanied by a solo cellist onstage, ten dancers move in and out of expected and unexpected, often disrupted formations. Elo’s work is a breathtaking example of the juxtaposition of contemporary and classical dance and has earned its place as an audience favorite worldwide.

In addition to his dancing accomplishments, he has received The Juilliard School’s Choreographic Honors three years in a row and was awarded the school’s Hector Zaraspe Prize in Choreography in 2018. His new work will take classical ballet movement and push it forward in unexpected ways to represent the artform of today. This ballet is sure to be a tour de force for the company and a true reflection of My’Kal’s incredible talent.
