“L'oiseau de feu”

Once again Michael Sturtz and The Crucible set the dance scene ablaze with a fusion of classical ballet, fire performance, aerialists, acrobats and break dancers to create a fiery and funky interpretation of Stravinsky’s masterpiece.

It’s definitely ballet with an industrial edge provided by Crucible artisans, a cameo appearance by a Pontiac Firebird, and a ballerina’s graceful pas-de-deux with a motorcycle stunt rider.

Designed and Directed by: Michael Sturtz
Choreography: Viktor Kabaniaev
Stage Direction: Mark Streshinsky
Music direction: Scott Sterling
