DESCRIPTION:Jun 4-5\, 2026\nGiven that the theme is handed to them in its t
 itle\, choreographers often feel compelled to make a ballet of Vivaldi’s
  Four Seasons. Just as often\, the music defeats them. Maybe the Venetian
 ’s idea of weather is too courtly or maybe there are simply too many vio
 lins. Whatever the reason\, BalletX did well to ditch the famous music for
  an original score by Dan Deacon\, whose allover electronic anthems Justin
  Peck deployed for his melancholic everyman epic The Times Are Racing. Fou
 r choreographers—one per season—have written this “love letter to Mo
 ther Nature”: the Ailey-bred Jamar Roberts\, who grounds his evocative\,
  socially vibrant work in sensuality and the music\; Trey McIntyre\, conte
 mporary ballet’s endearing answer to scrappy indie rock\; the Brit Morga
 nn Runacre-Temple\, half of the much-in-demand duo Jess and Morgs\, whose 
 exceptional integration of livestream video into the onstage drama has got
  ballet directors calling\; and Penny Saunders\, that rare thing in contem
 porary ballet—a storyteller. The Four Seasons Reimagined is one of 30 co
 mmissions for What Now\, a six-week Philadelphia-wide arts festival leadin
 g up to our nation’s 250th birthday. In short\, it’s a big deal.
