With intense physicality, Valse is rich with lush, spiraling duets that move seamlessly throughout the piece.

The work invites you into an atmospheric world with a mysterious language of its own. The alternate realm created by the dance is latent with passion and a sense of danger. With a hypnotic score, each movement builds to a striking and exhilarating finish.
