Celebrate the 80th birthday of a true giant of modern dance with both of his esteemed dance companies sharing a program for the first time. The extraordinary PTDC company performs Airs, Syzygy, and Company B, moving from sublime lyricism to full-throttle physicality to the poignant dualities of love and war. Taylor 2 performs Taylor’s signature masterpiece Esplanade, as well as a unprecedented live collaboration with Asphalt Orchestra, which performs an original arrangement of the score to the pioneering 3 Epitaphs.
