BalletX expands its horizons with two company favorites and a world premiere at the Mann

and, as a piece danced in very large, black bunny ears, is hard to forget.

BalletX usually prides itself on its new commissions, but in the two-day outing, it presented just one world premiere,, by Amy Hall Garner. Set to music by Rodrigo y Gabriela, Francesco Tristano and Rami Khalifé, and Edoardo Pietrogrande and Francesco Tristano, it started out as a balletic piece and then moved into a more jazzy hip-hop style.

The dancers looked fantastic but the lit backdrop, which changed colors as the piece went on, while cool, made it harder to see the details.
