Kyle Abraham’s choreographic perspective takes center stage in a work fusing modern and classical technique, accented by dramatic lighting, imaginative costumes, and an eclectic soundtrack.

The Runaway is Kyle Abraham’s first work for New York City Ballet, as well as his first work for a ballet company. The ballet for eight dancers premiered at the Company's 2018 Fall Gala, and features lighting by Dan Scully, costumes by Giles Deacon, and music by Nico Muhly, James Blake, Jay-Z, and Kanye West.
