Atlanta Ballet Presents "20|20: Visionary"

Atlanta Ballet's 20|20: Visionary is a visionary mash-up of cultures and styles reflective of the city of Atlanta.

These three distinctive pieces bend perceptions of ballet by blending classical precision with fearless expression. For 2016, Atlanta Ballet is bringing back one favorite from past seasons: Amy Seiwert’s “Home in 7”. The Atlanta-inspired piece by choreographer Amy Seiwert brings the essence of the South to stage through spoken word, music and movement based on seven poems by prize-winning poet and Morehouse graduate Marc Bamuthi Joseph. “Boiling Point” is a fast-paced work that heats up the stage as dancers push their bodies to their limits and showcase the searing, demanding athleticism of dance. Witness a world premiere from acclaimed British choreographer Douglas Lee whose inspiring and kinetic works have been performed by prestigious companies around the world, including New York City Ballet, Nederlands Dans Theater 2, and now Atlanta Ballet.
