Across the River of Light

An evening of dance that glows with intimacy, emotion, and quiet power—perfectly suited for the warmth of The Parker’s intimate stage. 

This reflective program explores the emotional depths of connection, vulnerability, and grace. Christopher Wheeldon’s This Bitter Earth is a haunting meditation on love and memory, set to the soulful layering of Max Richter and Dinah Washington. George Balanchine's exuberant Tarantella follows, bursting with joy, speed, and virtuosic flair. Jimmy Gamonet de los Heros’ Nous Sommes offers moments of elegant connection, while the vivid vignettes of Durante Verzola’s Sentimiento pulse with Latin rhythm and heartfelt nostalgia. 

Subtle, stirring, and richly expressive—this is ballet that invites you closer.
