Arabesque

Music by Claude Debussy
A haunting work that evokes a distant past. The powerful female protagonist – perhaps a high priestess – robs a suitor of his sight, but after recovering, he leaves her sightless. “Fascinating. A mysterious world of archaic creatures and fleeting encounters. Fierce, impossibly swift dancing that blends earthy ferocity with skimming airiness.” – Susan Reiter, Newsday
