This large ensemble, comprised of more than 20 young dancers who will lead the coming generation, will express the worlds of idealism and reality through the theme of Symphony No. 9, 4th movement: Ode to Joy, in a 20-minute piece.
The piece “Joy” is about people who are torn between ideals and reality, struggling to live and move forward. The work is divided into three parts: chaos, confusion, and joy. The chaos and confusion of reality contrast with the joy of idealism, and work expresses the connections between people, their support of one another, and their desperate efforts to pursue the ideal, even when almost crushed by the weight of the real world.
