Complexions Contemporary Ballet:
For Crying Out Loud
Tuesday, April 29 at 8 p.m.
COMPLEXIONS CONTEMPORARY BALLET awakens audiences to a new, exciting genre with their singular approach of reinventing dance and contemporary ballet. Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, armed with a rich Alvin Ailey lineage and a cadre of 16 stunning dancers, COMPLEXIONS has been hailed as a “matchless American dance company” by the Philadelphia Inquirer and “game changing” by London’s The Guardian.
The evening’s program includes a new work by COMPLEXIONS co-founder and choreographer, Dwight Rhoden, entitled FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Using the raw and unfiltered music of U2’s latest release, Songs of Surrender, Rhoden brings the vibrancy of the stories told by music and lyrics into the landscape of expression — drawing on the grit and honesty of these iconic songs stripped down to their acoustic best. The performance is both moving and uplifting, leaving the audience with a sense of hope for what’s to come.
