The Last Glass

With inspiration from the wild street-parade sound of American indie-rock band Beirut, The Last Glass is a ballet that slowly awakens like a city, part mysterious pageant and part raucous celebration.

Neenan’s friend James Ihde recommended that he listen to Beirut a few years ago, knowing that the music might inspire him to create a ballet one day. The rawness of the music allows the dancers to take on an intense theatricality and gives them the space to develop strong characters and story lines throughout the dance. “The Last Glass” refers to the song used in the seventh movement of Neenan’s piece, the song “Un Dernier Verre.”

"one of the most appealing and singular choreographic voices in ballet today"
