For more than 25 years, Metamorphosis Dance has kicked off the summer at the Zilker Hillside Theater. This year, despite its many challenges, will be no different. Ballet Under the Stars: “The Show Must Go On!” will be rehearsed and filmed June 2nd-4th and available for viewing later this month.
We decided “the show must go on” was the most appropriate name for this show and really, for this season. Our artists have endured so much because of the pandemic, plus a flood temporarily took away their studio home. If one word could describe their attitude throughout, it would be resilient. They embodied the phrase “the show must go on” every time they rehearsed and performed with masks on their faces and for empty theaters. To close out this unusual year, they will be presenting a variety of works that portray many different feelings and thoughts, but all with remarkable artistry and graceful grit.
Next season, we hope to see all our friends and supporters back in theater seats. Until then, please enjoy our final offering of Ballet Under the Stars: “The Show Must Go On!”
This project is funded in part by a grant from the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division.
