This dynamic mixed repertory program opens with George Balanchine’s electrifying Stars and Stripes, set to the rousing music of John Philip Sousa. Bursting with energy, precision, and joyful spectacle, this dazzling ballet is a vibrant tribute to American spirit and the country that welcomed Balanchine and his artistry.The program continues with Sir David Bintley’s imaginative Still Life at the Penguin Caf?, a charming yet thought-provoking work that brings a parade of animal characters to the stage. Beneath its playful charm lies a powerful message about conservation and the delicate balance of life on our planet. Performed with live music by the Sarasota Orchestra at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Life & Liberty promises an unforgettable evening of dance that inspires, entertains, and moves audiences. Don’t miss it—secure your tickets today!
