BalletX “Become a Mountain” / “Big Wig” / “Macaroni” at Palmer Auditorium in New London

Hailed as “among America’s best” by The New York Times, BalletX pushes the boundaries of classical ballet to tell modern stories with creativity and electric energy. Touring renowned venues such as The Kennedy Center, The Joyce Theater and Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, BalletX returns to Connecticut College with an exceptional program of three works:  Become a Mountain, simulating the peril, adrenaline and athletic endurance of climbing a mountainside; Big Wig, a contemporary homage to Irish step dance and the larger-than-life curly hairstyles of the ’80s; and Macaroni, which turns the 18th-century insult from Yankee Doodle Dandy on its powdered-wigged head in “glittering dance diva mayhem.”  (CultureVulture)
