MOZART IN MOTION WITHTHE PBT ORCHESTRAOctober 26 – 28, 2018Benedum Center


Experience Mozart’s music as muse for threeworks by dance icons George Balanchine and Jiří Kylián. Balanchine considered Mozart’s Divertimento No. 15 one of the finest ever written, and he named this majestic neoclassicalballet after its spirited score. Kylián’s Sechs Tänze (Six Dances), set to Mozart’s Six GermanDances, is a comedic clash of the classical andcontemporary, sophisticated and absurd, peppered with powdered wigs and dry wit. Bycontrast, Kylián’s profound Petite Mort juxtaposesthe slow movements of two Mozart piano concertos with powerful dancing that integratesbaroque dresses, fencing foils and black silks tostriking effect.

In the near future, “primes” are programmed tolook, sound, and smile like our dearly departed.With young Walter, Marjorie recalls the good olddays of their marriage despite the frustrations ofher rapidly failing memory. He acts and feels likefamily, even as Marjorie’s own daughter seemsless and less familiar. Jordan Harrison (writer for Orange is the New Black) brings us this inventive, intimate play about a world where advancing technology can lead us back to who we are and to the people we love.

Public Partners for Marjorie Prime include Choitek, Ascender Start/Build Hub, and the Thrival Innovation + Music Festival.
