STRAVINSKY: "Pulcinella" (WORLD PREMIERE CHOREOGRAPHY)

Often considered the first piece of Stravinsky's neoclassical period, "Pulcinella" served as a gateway for Stravinsky's second phase as a composer. Complexions Contemporary Ballet brings its own modern, multi-cultural spin to this lively work with world premiere choreography by Co-Artistic Director Dwight Rhoden, and featuring Co-Artistic Director Desmond Richardson, a performer hailed by The New York Times as "one of the great modern dancers of his time."
