27'52" GALA VERSION
No choreographer is more praised today than Jiří Kylián, the master of fusing classical and modern dance. 27'52" is full of dazzling detail and deeply moving partner work and is set to an intense electronic composition by Dirk Haubrich based on lyrical motifs by Gustav Mahler. Please Note: 27'52" contains nudity.
NESSUNO TEXAS PREMIERE
As a finalist of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago's National Choreographic Competition, Walsh created Nessuno in 2010. This thought-provoking work travels through three chapters, each representing the non-sequential states of being when one discovers a place of belonging.
WALSH WORLD PREMIERE
Vignettes of a moment, day, or life-span with emphasis on its beginnings and endings set to a soundscape featuring compositions by Arcangelo Corelli.
