Deos Contemporary Ballet’s fan-favorite winter repertory ballet performance returns for one powerful weekend, blending bold new works with iconic choreography.

The program features the world premiere of “Trojan Women” by Tess Sinke, inspired by Euripides’ timeless tragedy and exploring resilience, loss, and survival in the aftermath of war. Balancing the evening is Dennis Spaight’s “Crayola” -- a rare, historic ballet performed entirely in silence -- and “Lamentation Variations,” presented in collaboration with the Martha Graham Dance Company, examining grief, hope, and human connection.

Honoring legendary choreographers while amplifying local contemporary voices, EMBER Series 26 offers an intimate, emotionally charged night of dance—on stage for one weekend only.
