Neo


Choreography by Alexei Ratmansky
Music by Dai Fujikura
Costumes by Moritz Junge
Lighting by Brad Fields


Running Time: 9 minutes

Created in pandemic times by Alexei Ratmansky for ABT Principals James Whiteside and Isabella Boylston, Neo challenged the dancers to reclaim their stamina after months of isolation. This pas de deux was presented to live audiences for the first time in October 2024. Alternately playful and daring, fevered and sensuous, the choreography is matched by the bold yet delicate sounds of the shamisen, the Japanese stringed instrument which accompanies them in a piece by composer Dai Fujikura.
