Overview

Carolyn Carlson's "Dark" is a haunting and mesmerizing ballet that transports its audience into a netherworld where life meets death. As a magician of ambiance, Carlson creates choreographic structures that undergo constant metamorphosis, resulting in a captivating and thought-provoking performance.
