The choreography leans into both tradition and reinvention, letting dancers inhabit roles that rarely exist for them elsewhere. The result is a program that feels both familiar and quietly radical, where the lines between gender and movement blur. The Fort Mason setting, with its industrial edges and bay views, adds a sense of occasion to the performances.
