The Joyce Theater presents:

Lyon Opera Ballet

Apr 29-May 3

Lyon Opera Ballet, heralded for its commitment to showcasing the work of significant contemporary choreographers, performs a spectacular program featuring some of the best choreography created over the last thirty years. On tap is William Forsythe’s Steptext, a 1985 quartet for three male and one female dancer in which the choreographer plays with theatrical conventions and constantly shifts weight and balance between dancers. The program also includes Benjamin Millepied’s Sarabande, a “rollicking work” for four male dancers that includes “good-natured jostling” Dance Magazine and the New York premiere of the Israeli-born, French-based choreographer Emanuel Gat’s Sunshine.More info.
