Set to Caroline Shaw’s piano composition Gustave le Gray, four dancers in flowing, vibrant red costumes repeat sharp yet sweeping phrases and interact with the onstage pianist, who continues to play even as they move the grand piano and musician from one side of the stage to the other.

Pam Tanowitz originally choreographed Gustave le Gray No. 1 in 2019 for dancers from Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) and Miami City Ballet at the Kennedy Center’s “Ballet Across America.” At the New York City Ballet premiere, two NYCB dancers and two guest dancers from DTH performed alongside an onstage pianist. The ballet is set to Caroline Shaw’s Gustave le Gray and features costumes design by Reid Bartelme and Harriet Jung and lighting design by Davison Scandrett.
