Fall Experience features two striking contemporary works: Akram Khan’s Vertical Road (Reimagined) 2023, and Alexander Ekman’s Cacti.

Vertical Road (Reimagined) 2023 explores humanity’s earthly nature, rituals, and the consequences of our actions. This mesmerizing work becomes a meditation on the journey from gravity to grace.

Alexander Ekman’s Cacti is a playful and rhythmically charged contemporary work created in 2010. Known for its wit, physicality, and clever commentary on the culture of dance and artistic interpretation, Cacti was nominated for “Best New Modern Choreography” by the UK Dance Critics Foundation. Cacti is set to a complex score performed by the Boston Ballet Orchestra, and a quartet, playing on-stage.

Whether you’re new to contemporary dance or simply curious, this program promises an engaging live performance that is best experienced together in the theater.
