Colorado Ballet closes out the season with Light /The Holocaust & Humanity Project March 29-31, 2013 at the Newman Center at the University of Denver.  Making its Denver debut, this one act contemporary ballet in five movements is inspired by the poignant journey of one Holocaust survivor.  Set to the music of five notable contemporary composers including Philip Glass and Arvo Part, Light is a powerful, moving and uplifting experience.  When it premiered in 2005, Light brought national attention to choreographer Stephen Mills.  His original choreography turns the spotlight on discrimination and triumph of the human spirit.

“An elegant yet visceral story of belief, bigotry, isolation, survival and hope…a groundbreaking multimedia contemporary ballet.” Jeanne Claire van Ryzin, Austin American Statesman

“’Light’ is a powerfully emotional theatrical experience that doesn’t let go when you leave the theater.  It is an inspiring work.” Mark Kanny, Tribune-Review

“Mesmerizing without taking advantage of the powerful subject material…” Jane Vranish, Pittsburgh Post Gazette
