A&A BALLET PRESENTS NEW FAMILY DANCE SERIES FEATURING “CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS” AND THE WORLD PREMIERE OF “THE FIREBIRD” ON MAY 14 AT ATHENAEUM THEATER.

Described as “equal parts comedic and captivating with a forceful wit and choreography bursting with nuanced athleticism” by Huffing Post, Carnival of the Animals showcases Kremnev’s talent as an electric storyteller. Breathing new life into a beloved masterpiece, Kremnev’s adaptation serves as a playful reminder to ballet enthusiasts, while introducing new audiences to the art form itself. The costumes, created by Laura Skarich and Ballet Rosa, have been designed specifically for each dancer featuring original art digitally printed onto the fabric.The world premiere of “Firebird” is Kremnev’s 21st ballet, and his first to feature sand art designed by artist Anastasia Antropova. Projected onto the stage throughout the performance, the sand art combines art, music, and dance by drawing in the sand to create moving effects, enhancing the storytelling of the performers. Serving as an accessible introduction to the work of Stravinsky, “Firebird” is a celebration of the power of music and ballet.

Ticket prices range from $15-$55.
