Jennifer Archibald’s Maslow’s Peak fuses ballet with street and contemporary dance to explore power, control, and the struggle for self-actualization. Inspired by Lord of the Flies, the work reimagines the novel’s themes for a 21st-century audience, offering a bold, cautionary tale that reflects today’s social dynamics. Set to a striking original score, Maslow’s Peak invites us to examine how we relate to one another—through conflict, cooperation, and ultimately, hope.
