Robbins/Balanchine - The Perils of Everybody

Jerome Robbins is one of the most prominent American choreographers, known for having choreographed and directed West Side Story (1957). In 1949 he was appointed assistant artistic director of the New York City Ballet, founded by George Balanchine the year before. This performance, titled The Perils of Everybody (1956), is one of Robbins’ best-known works. It tells the story of a visit to the theatre from the point of view of the audience with great wit and charm.
