For this program, Robbins calls upon all the chic and romance of France with the aid of two supreme composers, Ravel and Debussy. Mother Goose resonates for children of all ages with its nostalgic score and fairytale friends. Afternoon of a Faun depicts a chance encounter between two young dancers. Subtle, sensual, and narcissistic, it reveals the very heart of human attraction. Enveloped by Debussy’s prismatic score, Antique Epigraphs’ all-female ensemble moves to the echoes of centuries past. The program concludes with In G Major, a saucy Riviera romp. At the ballet’s heart is one of the most touching and luminous pas de deux in the Robbins repertory.
