Gerald Arpino’s beautiful, theatrical Light Rain has become a Joffrey Ballet signature work. In three movements, a large cast of dancers wash across the stage, pulsing with energy and forming fluid, exotic groupings. The centerpiece is a sensual duet between a man and a woman. The work’s original score mesmerizes with Eastern rhythms and unusual combinations of instruments like banjo, violin, mandolin, bass, toumbec (clay drum), finger cymbals, tambourine, claves (South American wood sticks), maraca and bamboo flute.
All programming is subject to change.
Live music performed by The Chicago Sinfonietta.
