  Reprising last season’s Here/Now Festival, this 21st-century program combines breakthrough works and recent premieres. Peck’s sneaker ballet, one of the most buzzed about ballets of 2017, and the latest from Ratmansky join two Wheeldon works: a contemplative pas de deux evoking an introspective mysticism and an ensemble work for four couples who wind their way through eerily melodious piano selections, including music made famous by Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.

    Music by: Arvo Pärt

  - Polyphonia
    
    Music by: György Ligeti
    
    Choreography by: Christopher Wheeldon
    
    Regarded as one of Wheeldon’s breakthrough contemporary works, Polyphonia’s four couples wind their way through ten eerily melodious Ligeti selections, including music made famous by Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.
  - Odessa
    
    Music by: Leonid Desyatnikov
    
    Choreography by: Alexei Ratmansky
    
    Ratmansky’s fifth NYCB work is set to “Sketches to Sunset,” a collection of incidental pieces composed by fellow Russian Leonid Desyatnikov for the 1990 film Sunset, including a mix of tango and klezmer music.
  - The Times Are Racing
    
    Music by: Dan Deacon
    
    Choreography by: Justin Peck
    
    One of the most buzzed about premieres of 2017, The Times Are Racing is a sneaker ballet that sees its dancers in streetwear designed by Opening Ceremony, drawing inspiration from a variety of dance styles while matching Dan Deacon’s electronic score with youthful impulse and vigor.
