American Repertory Ballet’s 2024-2025 season at New Brunswick Performing Arts Center concludes with PASIÓN, a mixed bill of new and known works. The program includes an excerpt from the classic Marius Petipa ballet titled Paquita, as well as the highly anticipated return of Stephanie Martinez’s celebrated commission The Time That Runs Away. Heralded as “an example of dance art at its finest” by Critical Dance, the piece showcases nine dancers morphing dreamily through a variety of configurations to six diverse songs that will leave the audience teeming with a sense of carpe diem.
Also featured will be a world premiere by Cuban choreographer and Princeton Ballet School faculty member Luis Napoles. Taking the word “Compasso” (c.1300, meaning: space, area, extent, circumference) as a starting point, the work explores the balance of the individual voice within a larger group, relating the term’s meanings and origins to our lives via the physical dancing body.
