From the program: Cornered is inspired by the idea of the passing of time; a ballet in four duets, each a kind of meditation on the effect and nature of time passing.
High seriousness without a trace of pretentiousness, much about weight and balance. And a perfect introduction to the Glass Violin Concerto.
