More About

This year’s featured performers include a variety of internationally recognized dance talents such as Ballet National de Marseille, which will present the North American premiere of Metamorphoses. Based on Ovid’s mythological poems, the work explores the no-man’s-land between order and chaos, logic and irrationality. The piece is created by Frédéric Flamand, artistic director of the group, and incorporates a large-scale set.

China’s renowned Beijing Dance/LDTX, making its third visit to the festival, will present three works, including Pilgrimage. BJM Danse Montréal brings Locked Up Laura, a self-referencing ballet based on a dancer’s inner monologue minutes before taking the stage. And Brighton, England’s Jasmin Vardimon Company will debut Yesterday, a retrospective piece chronicling the quirky, innovative and physically spectacular company’s most iconic choreographic moments (a definite must-see). 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Wortham Center, 501 Texas. For information, call 877-772-5425 or visit www.dancesalad.org. $20 to $50.
