Tomasson's episodic Chi-Lin (The Unicorn), set to a collaged score--most notable for the pas de deux's beautiful violin solo--by Chinese American composer Bright Sheng, was modestly choreographed, gorgeously danced, and lavishly produced. This program also features two exciting world premieres: Chi-Lin by Helgi Tomasson and Later by Mark Morris created for retiring principal dancer Joanna Berman. Sheng, who subsequently "fell in love with the company and its orchestra," collaborated with the choreographer on creating the short piece Chi-Lin, and came and conducted for its premiere. |
