BalletX: The Four Seasons Reimagined

About this event

The Four Seasons Reimagined is a love letter to Mother Nature — an epic new work that invites audiences into a living, breathing world shaped by sound, movement, light, and design. Composer and electronic music innovator Dan Deacon creates and performs a bold original score live on stage, igniting an immersive landscape where the seasons pulse with urgency and wonder. Four visionary choreographers, Morgann Runacre-Temple (Summer), Penny Saunders (Fall), Jamar Roberts (Winter), and Trey McIntyre (Spring), each bring a distinct season to life, revealing nature as the driving force at the heart of the story: fragile, fierce, and magnificently alive.

With visually arresting costumes and scenic design by Emma Kingsbury and evocative lighting by Christopher Ash, the production surrounds audiences in a fully realized sensory environment. Music unfolds in real time, movement surges through shifting landscapes, and light transforms the stage into a world in constant evolution. Inspired by Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, reimagined through a contemporary lens, this groundbreaking collaboration dissolves the boundaries between performer and viewer, drawing audiences into an intimate, immersive journey through the beauty, volatility, and wonder of our planet.
