One of Europe's most in-demand dance makers, Jorma Elo, joins Houston Ballet for his first time with the creation of "ONE/end/ONE," a performance that connects modern fashion to the classicism of the dance in terms of movement and music. The second ballet, "Falling Angels," is a part of Jiri Kylian's black-and-white ballets which is influenced by surrealism and minimalism. The performance concludes with Christopher Wheeldon's "Rush," a dance embracing hierarchy with a corps de ballet of ten dancers who support and frame two principles and four soloists.
