After months of quarantine, the Minnesota Ballet, under the direction of Karl von Rabenau, has put together a mixed repertoire performance by multiple choreographers to delight viewers live or virtually.
The highlight of the first half of the evening was Concourse. This piece by Petr Zharadinacek had my undivided attention. Dancers Samuel Mack and Kyra Olson held a tangible intensity throughout this piece as they transitioned from one place to the next on stage. Their partnering was seamlessly connected, which gave the impression that the relationship between the dancers was also connected. At times, the movement was fluid and at other times it was jerky, not unlike life and relationships in general.
