American Repertory Ballet will present an evening of ballets inspired by the 20th century works of Sergei Diaghilev's revolutionary Ballets Russes. The ambitious program features: the premiere of Artistic Director Douglas Martin's Firebird, set to a compelling score by Stravinsky, Martin's
Rite of Spring, also set to music by Stravinsky, and Kirk Peterson's
Afternoon of a Faun, set to Debussy's provocative score.

What the critics have said:

Kirk Peterson's 
Afternoon of a Faun
"[Peterson's] Faun retains its setting of a Grecian idyll, but the characters, a faun that is half-human/half-beast and a flirtatious nymph, interact with more tender innocence than Nijinsky's originals, which caused a scandal at the 1912 premiere in Paris with their eroticism." He goes on to say, "Peterson's movements seem like the natural expression of Debussy's heated music....a re-interpretation with "stunning impact."
-- Tony Angarano, The Courant

Douglas Martin's Rite of Spring
"Part sentimental tribute and part screwball comedy, Martin's Rite avoids primitivist clichés and, in gender parity, it manages to find a concept still radical enough to make audiences squirm."
-- Robert Johnson, The Star-Ledger

"Mr. Martin's choreography fills the stage...an indescribable potpourri that work together because they fit both Mr. Martin's concept and the Stravinsky score...a tribute to Mr. Martin's choreographic ability."
-- Jerry Hochman, Critical Dance
