A contemporary ballet performance dedicated to non-violence in the world may at first resonate with the cynical condition the very same world is shrouded in—just a dreamy artistic desire, or even simply an effective marketing phrase? Yet as the evening unfolds, the very same phrase gradually redeems itself beyond the sentimentality that may be ascribed to it. Instead, it proves to stand for the humble offering art can make towards a—even just slightly—more humane world.
In Stay Tuned the star choreographic duo Sol León and Paul Lightfoot compose a performance of both beauty and emotional insight, which, through music, poetic storytelling, and its exceptional cast, succeeds in manifesting a resolute belief in art’s ability to nurture the best of what human nature has to offer.
