Set to Aaron Kernis' newly adapted composition "AIR" Pascal Rioult creates a poetic fantasy based on Helen of Troy's imagined relationships with heroes of the Trojan War. The piece is the first in RIOULT's Dance to Contemporary Composer Series featuring live music.
"I have gotten to know Pascal Rioult's work and have admired its variety, flow, and strong dramatic sensibility. I have always wanted to work more on the stage and with dance, and this provides an ideal opportunity to use an important lyrical work of mine and expand it newly for dance. Our mutual attraction to lyricism and drama are well matched, and we have spoken about collaborating for years."
-- Aaron J. Kernis
