Let Your Spirit Take Flight! Experience the power and passion of Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) as the company returns to Washington Performing Arts with the bold revival of Firebird, the company’s iconic take on the classic tale of love and transformation. This DTH signature work, which premiered in Paris, is a feast for the senses, as the Russian folk tale is reimagined in a luscious Caribbean setting featuring John Taras’s choreography and Stravinsky’s iconic score. First conceived in 1982 by Taras, the production comes to life through the inimitable Geoffrey Holder’s stunning sets and costumes and is accompanied by UNCSA Symphony Orchestra’s Stravinsky’s “Firebird Ballet Suite” recording on UNCSA Media. This exclusive D.C. engagement by Washington Performing Arts and Dance Theatre of Harlem is the latest in a 50-year history of collaboration first established in 1973.
