The SF Chronicle called Tomasson’s 7 for Eight “stunning” when it premiered in 2004, and went on to say that it “overflowed with spare and resonant poetry.” Yuri Possokhov’s Magrittomania is a clever and colorful homage to the surrealist painter, René Magritte. The program closes with the North American premiere of William Forsythe’s superbly crafted Pas/Parts, a daring display of technique for 15 dancers. Created for Paris Opéra Ballet in 1999, Pas/Parts has never been danced by another company—until now.
