DOWNLOAD SEASON BROCHURE Memoryhouse Memoryhouse marked Melissa Barak’s first full-evening dance work as LAB’s new Artistic Director. An abstract ballet composed of vignettes commemorating the Holocaust, Memoryhouse is set to Max Richter’s powerful album of the same name and reflects on the somber as well as more heroic moments that illuminate this devastating period in human history. The ballet is choreographed to Richter's album in its entirety and in the order it was meant to be listened to. The ballet has 18 movements, totaling the number of tracks on the album. Some movements connect with others while some live on their own. No alterations were made to the score, the electronic voices, sounds, and touches are part of the original recording. Barak partnered with Hagy Belzberg, Founding Partner of BA Collective and the architect of The Holocaust Museum for set design, and Sebastian Peschiera of Narduli Studio for production and projection design. The premiere was originally planned for 2020, the 75th anniversary year of the end of the Holocaust. Melissa had returned from her trip to Germany and Poland and was well into the creative process when production was sidelined by the COVID pandemic. Memoryhouse marked its world premiere in 2023 at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica. Tickets On Sale Now!

DOWNLOAD SEASON BROCHURE Firebird & Serenade Firebird , the Russian-Slavic folk tale passed down to children to this day, tells the story of a magical bird made of fire. Ivan, a young and boisterous prince, is granted the help of the bird to overthrow the evil magician Tzar named Kaschie and save the beautiful Princess. ​ Originally debuted in Paris’s Palais Garnier by Imperial Russian choreographer Michel Fokine in 1910 with a score by Igor Stravinsky, the dance was considered groundbreaking and exceedingly radical compared to other ballets performed at the time. Yuri Possokhov's sensational production of Firebird is both visually and musically dazzling. Audiences of all ages will no doubt enjoy this most entertaining ballet fairytale. Serenade is a milestone in the history of dance. It is the first original ballet Balanchine created in America and is one of the signature works of New York City Ballet’s repertory. The ballet is performed by 28 dancers in what are now signature blue costumes in front of a blue-hued background. Originating it as a lesson in stage technique, Balanchine worked unexpected rehearsal events into the choreography. When one student fell, he incorporated it. Another day, a student arrived late, and this too became part of the choreography, ultimately reflecting the ebb and flow of the ballet choreographic process. Tchaikovsky’s sweeping score is filled with romanticism and hints at classical ballet scores such as Giselle and Swan Lake. Program length: 68 minutes and 1 intermission Tickets On Sale Now!
