Watermill
Ito/Robbins |
The Four Seasons
Verdi/Robbins |
All life has its seasons. Robbins’ Watermill is meditative, epic, and intense, and was a controversial sensation at its 1972 premiere. It is unlike any ballet you have ever seen, dwelling in memory, timelessness and the deeply personal quest for consequence. It glows from within as if a Japanese scroll painting has come to life. In vivid contrast stands The Four Seasons, one of Robbins’ jolliest romps. It translates the seasonal calendar into frosty flirtation, springtime awakening, sultry reverie, and a blow-you-away bacchanal, all set to Verdi’s vibrant melodies.
