The Egg, Presented by Pegasus Contemporary Ballet

Pegasus Contemporary Ballet opens its season with The Egg — a daring new work inspired by the short story from Andy Weir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary.

With an original score commissioned from six-time GRAMMY Award–winning violinist Scott Tixier, this collaborative production fuses dance, music, and narration into a visceral, intimate performance.

In just two pages, Weir’s story poses profound questions about life, death, and our connection to one another. Pegasus expands this vision into a rich, multidisciplinary production that invites audiences to look inward, imagine outward, and leave transformed.

Friday, November 7th at 8 pm

Saturday, November 8th at 8 pm

Sunday, November 9th at 2 pm

Please note: While we value exposure to the arts for children, this production is not recommended for children under 12.
