Beautiful Decay

This full-evening work in two parts is exciting and haunting in equal measure. Nicolo Fonte follows last season’s breath-taking collaboration with Pink Martini (Never Stop Falling (In Love)) with a production that juxtaposes the daring athleticism and technical prowess for which he is so well known, against the stark reality that with age comes a more fragile state – a state that nonetheless still resonates with the power and beauty of distant youth. Guest artists (and Portland contemporary dance icons) Susan Banyas and Gregg Bielemeier join the artists of Oregon Ballet Theatre, embodying Fonte’s theme that we carry all of our ages inside ourselves at all times.
