Intersections: Icarus Takes Flight with the Washington Ballet
(Oct 22, 2009–Jan 31, 2010)
A performance in partnership with the Washingon Ballet.
Andile Ndlovu of the Washington Ballet responds in dance to Barbara Liotta's sculpture, Icarus, and Maurice Ravel's Sonata for Violin and Cello performed by Yvonne Lam and Ignacio Alcover. Ndlovu and collaborator Septime Webre, artistic director of the Washington Ballet, use the abstract forms of the artwork and the mythical character's backstory as inspiration.
