Agon

At David H. Koch Theater

Upper West Side, New York

Arrive early, they start on time
Refreshments are limited and pricey
Side balcony seats still have great views

Balanchine's Agon pits dancer against dancer in a stripped-down contest of athleticism and precision. Set to Stravinsky's sharp, modernist score, this abstract masterpiece trades story for pure competitive energy: no scenery, no myth, just bodies in breathtaking rivalry.

Thursday, February 11, 7:30 PM
