The Seasons' Canon

Seattle Center

A 50th Anniversary coup! This collection of innovative ballets beautifully demonstrates the vast landscape from which choreographic creativity can spring. PNB is thrilled to be the second company to present Crystal Pite’s The Seasons’ Canon, which joins Emergence and Plot Point in PNB’s expanding collection of Pite works. The Seasons’ Canon shares the bill with a world premiere by international choreographer and artistic director of Complexions Contemporary Ballet Dwight Rhoden, and George Balanchine’s musically-modeled Duo Concertant.

Two new pieces by two of The Soraya’s most popular choreographers will mark the return of The Soraya’s resident dance company. The evening will include Chamber and an all-new work by the company’s Artistic Director Medhi Walerski, and Frontier, a new piece by Crystal Pite. Pite received acclaim for the premiere of The Statement, which was performed at The Soraya in 2022. Walerski’s work also returns to The Soraya following his wildly popular Romeo + Juliet in the 2019-20 Season.

Crystal Pite’s audience favorite Emergence returns after a six-year hiatus!
“Like the best works of art, it transforms its audience, as well as its participants,” says The Seattle Times of Emergence. This mesmerizing piece is accompanied by Jerome Robbins’ intimate Afternoon of a Faun, Marco Goecke’s solo work Mopey, and a World Premiere from PNB dancer and choreographer Price Suddarth. Each of these choreographers pushes the boundaries of dance with their own unique vision, and are especially remarkable when juxtaposed with one another.
