Year of the Rabbit

Year of the Rabbit

(2012)

Choreography

Justin Peck

Music

Sufjan Stevens
30 minutes

A bold and exhilarating ballet bursting with energy, Year of the Rabbit brings Justin Peck’s signature style to the stage—playful, precise, and wildly inventive. Set to a lush orchestral arrangement of Sufjan Stevens’ electronic album Enjoy Your Rabbit, the ballet explores themes of community and movement with infectious spirit and cinematic sweep. Though abstract in form, the work pulses with life, rhythm, and connection.

Year of the Rabbit underwritten by the Ansin Foundation in honor of Toby Lerner Ansin.
