For three nights only, The Joyce Theater Foundation presents 6000 miles away, featuring internationally acclaimed Sylvie Guillem. “The most brilliant ballerina of her generation” (The Guardian), Guillem makes a rare American visit for the U.S. premiere of this evening of works by three of today’s most important choreographers. William Forsythe’s Rearray, created especially for Guillem, is a duet performed with Teatro alla Scala Ballet’s Massimo Murru.
