About this Event

EnbyBallet: UNBOUND — An Intimate Studio Performance


EnbyBallet makes its Chicago debut, planting roots in the Midwest with an intimate evening of queer ballet that challenges tradition as we know it. Centering fluidity, identity, and the ungendered use of the pointe shoe, UNBOUND brings together classical and contemporary works that explore transformation, memory, and becoming.
