An original 90-minute ballet from Chicago-based Ballet 5:8, inspired by the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe. Scenes drawn from The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, Annabel Lee and The Masque of the Red Death connect Poe's turbulent life to his enduring writing. Choreographed by Julianna Rubio Slager and Glorielle Niedfeldt, the piece blends neo-classical ballet, African Diaspora movement traditions, spoken word, music and immersive theatrical imagery. The Baltimore performance is part of the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards presented by Poe Baltimore.
