Sons of Echo

A Joyce Theater Production
Wed Jan 14 - Sun Jan 25

Sons of Echo is a bold new program from international ballet star Daniil Simkin, a powerful evening of classical and contemporary dance that reveals the humanity behind ballet’s bravura. Featuring Simkin and four male principal dancers at the height of their careers–Jeffrey Cirio (Boston Ballet), Osiel Gouneo (Bayerisches Staatsballett), Alban Landorf (Royal Danish Ballet), Siphesihle November (National Ballet of Canada)–this decorated cast explores identity, vulnerability, and strength through new and reimagined works by groundbreaking female choreographers including Lucinda Childs, Drew Jacoby, Tiler Peck, and Anne Plamondon. Playful, poignant, and visually electrifying, Sons of Echo from Studio Simkin explores the expectations placed on the male dancer and his role in the future of ballet.
