Following its Kennedy Center performance, Complexions Contemporary Ballet troupe is coming to Seattle this weekend, which means it’s a chance to see Orcas Islander dancer, Aristotle Luna, perform.
Here’s a bit about the show from The Guardian.
Complexions Contemporary Ballet exhilarates audiences with its boundary-defying fusion of modern dance and contemporary ballet. With a rich Alvin Ailey lineage and a cadre of stunning dancers, Complexions has been hailed as a “matchless American dance company” by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Following a highly successful David Bowie tribute, the internationally acclaimed company once again blends the world of rock and ballet with a tribute to the legendary Irish rock band U2. The second act of the evening will be entirely dedicated to For Crying Out Loud, featuring some of U2’s most iconic hits.
The first half of the performance showcases a diverse mixed repertory program, featuring ballets such as “This Time,” “With Feeling” (2024), “Deeply” (2024), “Ave Maria” (1995), “Gone” (2000) and “Mercy” (2009).
Companies like Complexions are game-changing: they’re forging a path for what ballet can be instead of what it historically has been.
