Crystal Pite is an extraordinary choreographer. Her uniqueness is not her talent for making dances for large groups of people that unfold with a silken energy, filling huge stages with ripples of movement. It’s not even her skill at carving dances that seem at once weightless and freighted with depth.
It is her belief, profound and unshakable, that dance can communicate emotion in a way that no other art can, as if the vibrations of the steps on stage trigger an empathy in the hearts of the watchers.
