Experience this in-person performance from the nation’s ballet company. Tickets
Or you could join us virtually for an experience of artistic fusion in an interpretive performance by Washington Ballet Company dancers Maki Onuki and Tamás Krizsa, featuring the debut of a new, original score by film composer and TWB collaborator Blake Neely. The event concludes with a panel discussion with the performers.
Commissioned by the Cathedral as a complement to Pendry's "Les Colombes," Washington Ballet dancer and choreographer Tamás Krizsa created a site-specific pas de deux titled "Unbound." Inspired by the power and grace of Pendry's installation and Neely's original score, dancers Onuki and Krizsa are but two doves in the flock of 2,000, having broken off to explore. Together, they find balance and comfort in each other, and as part of the flock, as they soar through the iconic nave to live music. The ballet is a physical embodiment of the themes of hope, peace, and unity that doves represent.
Registrants will be sent a follow-up email with a link to view the event. Tickets are pay-what-you-wish, starting at $10. Watch it online.
