After more than a century, the ballets of Marius Petipa remain a staple of dance companies around the world. Join Alastair Macaulay (The New York Times) and an international panel of dance experts for a symposium shedding new light on Petipa’s formative years in France and Spain; and the preservation of his choreography through a cache of pioneering films rediscovered in Russia in 1995. Alexei Ratmansky (American Ballet Theatre) will offer concluding remarks on his recent reconstructions of "Harlequinade" for ABT and "La Bayadère" for the Staatsballett Berlin, using a unique archive of dance notations in the Harvard Theatre Collection.


Free to the public. Seating limited. RSVP recommended.
