About New Work
In his romantic new creation, marking the 30th anniversary of La La La Human Steps, Édouard Lock places ballet technique in service to a precise, feverishly paced gestural language, and presents an incredibly complex ballet performed by virtuoso dancers. From its January debut in Amsterdam, Lock’s newest creation has been a sold-out success throughout its European tour; ravishing audiences in the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Germany, Italy and Spain. By deconstructing two iconic operas – Dido and Aneas, and Orfeo ed Eurydice – Lock takes stories well known to audiences and transmutes them into a new, unpredictable narrative. The Gavin Bryars score is performed live by a quartet (piano, violin, cello and saxophone), evoking two tragic love stories awash in the melodies of the operatic scores by Purcell and Gluck.
“The piece could well be (Lock’s) finest creation” – Victor Swoboda, The Gazette, Montréal, 2011

About THE GRANDKID
Written by John Lazarus
Directed by Brett Christopher
Jacob Rothstein, a widowed professor in his 60s, finds his calm routine interrupted by the arrival of a new roommate: his 19-year-old granddaughter, starting her freshman year at the university where Jacob teaches. Despite their mutual love, the two clash, inevitably, over the challenges of a double generation gap. A comedy for boomers, teenagers, and everybody in between.
