Built to Fall Apart

An industrial-inspired contemporary pas de deux set to the music of David Kanaack, exploring fragility and emotional collapse through relentless physical structures and highly athletic partnering. Originally created for Barcelona Ballet, the work was later performed by Philadelphia Ballet dancers for the annual fundraiser Shut Up and Dance.
