Raison D’être Dance Project, a contemporary ballet company based in Bozeman, presents Rachmaninov + Plutonia, a full-length production on June 10th and 11th, 2022, at The Commons. The show’s first act features renowned guest pianist Alexei Ulitin and conductor Michael Sakir with a full live orchestra, guest cellist Else Trygstad-Burke, groundbreaking choreography, and couture-inspired costumes. The second act, Plutonia, is an original work inspired by themes of outer space and set to an original electronic score by Nina Tucciarelli. Plutonia breaks the bounds of ballet by incorporating aerial dance and a brain wave and movement experiment. The production will be immersive for the audience, with a stage “in-the-round,” scenic design by visual artists and metalsmiths, and explorations of the intersection of science and art. This performance will offer a thrilling experience for audiences. June 10th, 7:30 pm, and June 11th, 6:00 pm, The Commons at Baxter and Love, 1794 Baxter Ln E, Bozeman, MT 59718.
