The Hartt School's ambitious and exhilarating production of Petrushka re-envisions the iconic Ballets Russes work by Igor Stravinsky and Alexandre Benois by remaining true to the spirit of collaboration between multiple art forms, a guiding vision of both the Diaghilev company and The Hartt School. . Premiering in Paris 1n 1911, the ballet tells the story of the hapless puppet, Petrushka, and his struggle to claim his own humanity. Created on Vaslav Nijinsky as the vulnerable subject of the manipulative Charlatan's abuse, the title role and the ballet became strongly identified with the world famous dancer, his tortured relationship with the impresario Serge Diaghilev, and his subsequent descent into madness.

The Hartt School presents Hartt Dances, featuring Petrushka, a collaboration of the Dance Division and Hartt Orchestra, Friday, November 22, and Saturday, November 23, at 7:30 PM; and Sunday, November 24, at 2:00 PM, in Lincoln Theater. Hartt's fall mainstage dance concert highlights Stephen Pier's contemporary restaging of Petrushka, features the Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G major, BWV 1049, with choreography by Doris Humphrey; Jose Limon's Symphony for Strings, to the music of William Schuman; and a new creation by Katie Stevinson-Nollet, set to the work of Stephen Montague. A full orchestra, under the direction of Maestro Edward Cumming, accompanies the entire concert. Admission is $20, with discounts for seniors, students, and groups of 10 or more.

Stephen Pier has achieved a uniquely rich and varied career as a dancer, teacher, and choreographer. His credits as a performer include many years with the Jose Limon Dance Company where the New York press hailed him as '...one of the most gifted dancers on the modern dance scene today.' He went on to become a leading soloist with the Hamburg Ballet in Germany, performing the title roles in John Neumeier's Othello and Saint Matthew's Passion, and creating numerous other major roles during his nine years with the company. As a member of the Royal Danish Ballet for six years, Mr. Pier had the privilege of dancing leading roles in works of Bournonville, Balanchine, MacMillan, Bejart, and collaborating with many of Europe's finest contemporary choreographers.
