ABOUT THE PROGRAM

PONTUS LIDBERG

ON THE NATURE OF RABBITS

Inspired by true-life events after the fall of the Berlin wall and at the peak of the AIDS epidemic, in a series of dreamlike scenes, Lidberg contemplates the relationship between childhood mementos and the nuances of desire, as well as the delicate balance between reality and imagination in a time of great fear. Visuals by Jason Carpenter add a playful and interactive layer to the dance.

Duration: Approximately 60 minutes, no intermission.

Premiere: July 26, 2023 at La Biennale di Venezia in Venice, Italy.

There, he honed his craft, graduating in 1977 from the Higher Ballet Institute. Thereafter, Gamal quickly ascended to the role of a soloist, captivating audiences with principal performances at the Cairo Ballet. In 1979, he joined the Hamburg Ballet. Within a mere four years, his exceptional skills elevated him to the status of Principal Dancer, a title he held with distinction throughout his 20-year tenure with the company. During his illustrious career at the Hamburg Ballet, Gamal formed a profound artistic partnership with the renowned John Neumeier. This collaboration saw him bring to life numerous roles not only by Neumeier but also by other ballet luminaries such as Mats Ek, Maurice Béjart, and Gigi-Georghe Caciuleanu. In 2009, Gamal transitioned into an influential role behind the scenes, becoming the First Ballet Master for the Semperoper Ballett.

His freelance work from 1999 to 2003 saw him collaborate with an array of prestigious companies, including the Staatsballett Hannover, Ballett der Deutschen Oper am Rhein, and the Ballett der Deutschen Oper Berlin, among others. Gamal's role as a choreographic assistant brought him into creative partnerships with notable choreographers such as Graeme Murphy, Jacopo Godani, Jirí Kylián, Martin Schläpfer, Pontus Lidberg, and Stijn Celis.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION

The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for more than four decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 475 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (1st–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 300 performances for audiences of over 100,000. Visit Joyce.org for more information.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Joyce Theater operates on the Lenape island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) and acknowledges that it was founded upon the stolen land and erasure of many Indigenous communities. This acknowledgement demonstrates our institution’s commitment to the process of dismantling the legacies of colonialism and cultural imperialism.

We acknowledge the ongoing violence towards Indigenous people through systemic inequality. We pay our respect to the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon this land, and whose rich history, artistic practices, and spirituality are tied to this land. It is within our responsibility as a cultural institution and our commitment to diversity and inclusion to embody a commitment to Indigenous rights and cultural equity.

We sincerely invite you as an audience member to take a moment to reflect on the history and legacy of displacement, migration, and settlement.

It is our intention to work with local Native American arts councils to better inform our land acknowledgment practices and anticipate that it will evolve over time.
