In tango, the couple is everything. In modern dance, the individual rules. In Sin Salida, the adventurous Argentine-French tango troupe Union Tanguera and American contemporary choreographer Kate Weare create a riveting dance narrative around our most basic needs – to be together, and to be independent.

Set to original and traditional tango music, Sin Salida (No Exit) is a passionate dance exploration of what it means to be human.

This San Francisco contemporary ballet troupe is renowned for its superb, diverse dancers and for artistic leader Alonzo King’s distinctive blend of expressive, cutting-edge choreography with classical beauty. They’ll perform Common Ground, a 2018 work set to new music commissioned by renowned modern string ensemble Kronos Quartet; and Handel, where the rich elegance of Baroque music comes to life in a graceful, complex composition of bodies.

Run time: 90 minutes

The vibrant hometown classical troupe’s much anticipated fall show features their trademark range of exciting choreographic talent. On tap are the Main Stage premiere of company member Yanis-Eric Pikieris’ Genus (a favorite at last spring’s Salon Showcase); Ben Needham-Wood’s Apollo & Daphne, based on the myth of a woman who turns into a tree to escape the Greek Sun god; and the return of Tara Lee’s Under the Olive Tree, a lush, thrilling portrait of ancient Greek deities
which was the hit of DDTM’s debut.
