<div><strong>Once upon a time, there was a group of people who longed to be happy. </strong></div><p><strong>The people spent their days inside a giant room filled with shelves and boxes. </strong></p>

<p><strong>Desire doesn't follow rules.</strong></p><div>For most of Sorrel’s high school career, she was friendless and quietly weird. She didn’t even seem to fit in with the geeky kids. When she turned seventeen, and late puberty produced a supermodel physique, she became seen as a “hot dork”. <strong>Bunny</strong> spans twenty years of Sorrel’s life. Unencumbered by the burden of shame, she journeys through the complex social expectations surrounding female sexuality.

<div><strong>I am the incoming tide with spares no life - and certainly no man's! </strong></div><div><strong>So pull it together and let's go...</strong></div><div> </div><div>At “God’s” command, “Death” summons “Everybody” to go on the long and difficult journey to give a presentation to “God” on Everybody’s life and why they have lived it the way that they have. Everybody wants to bring along a friend, and Death says it’s fine <em>if</em> Everybody can find someone to volunteer.

<div><strong>But today, sitting in the street with those protesters - even when I got shoved around - I felt alive. I felt strong. Like I could tear my way out of this nightmare we see every night on the news. War. Pandemics. Food insecurity. The energy crisis. The collapse of healthcare. Strikes. And on top of that, a government that's either completely clueless or completely corrupt... and that's just the stuff we know is real. Who the hell knows anymore, in this era of spin and lies?

Why is it that, once fallen, we do not try to rise, and, having lost one thing, we do not seek another? Why?"</strong></div><p> </p><div>In this new translation of Chekhov’s ”serious comedy of human contradictions”, a group of artists and dreamers meet in the countryside and wrestle with the costs of ambition, unspoken longings, and the harsh realities of artistic pursuits.

<p>José Limón based his technique on the natural rhythms of and dynamism between fall and recovery, underlining the idea that movement itself can create emotion and meaning. This season’s repertoire includes choreography by Limón, Brian Brooks, Talley Beatty and Mark Morris that explores the despair, thrill and humor intrinsic in the act of falling.</p>
