OKC BALLET
PRESENTS GREAT
PERFORMANCE OF
PETITE MORT
FRIDAY NIGHT
By Nancy Condit
Artistic Director Robert Mills celebrated the end of his tenth season with the OKC Ballet by presenting the tension filled Petal, followed by Petite Mort, and The Means to Fly. The performance was an evening of dances new to enthusiastic Oklahoma City audiences.
Mill's annual season ending production of classical, yet contemporary ballets, gives Oklahoma City Ballet goers a chance to see performances from around the world. Petite Mort's choreographer, Czech republic based Jiří Kylián, is "one of the most influential choreographers in the last 30 years," said Mills. Petite Mort had its company premiere tonight. Mills' The Means to Fly, began its development at the National Choreographers Initiative in Irvine, California in 2017.
Helen Pickett's Petal, which made its debut with Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, received its Oklahoma premiere tonight at 8 p.m. in the Civic Center Auditorium.
There are two more performances of Petite Mort: A Triple Bill - Saturday evening at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m. For more information go online to https://www.okcballet.org/.
