Ballet Past and Present, at New York City Ballet
Briefly

Marina Harss discusses the contrasting styles of New York City Ballet's choreographers, highlighting the balance between Justin Peck's contemporary expressions and Alexei Ratmansky's introspective works.
Peck's new piece, 'Mystic Familiar,' reflects a generational mood of self-compassion amidst anxiety, infused with Dan Deacon's music and contemporary dance elements.
Ratmansky's 'Solitude,' a meditation on war's devastation, showcases his inward-looking style, differing from Peck's more socially attuned choreography.
The enduring impact of Balanchine and Robbins is evident in how today's choreographers continue to explore diverse perspectives within the ballet tradition.
