Join BalletX at the Festival at Highmark Mann, featuring the world premiere of The Four Seasons Reimagined – an epic love letter to Mother Nature that invites audiences into a living, breathing world shaped by sound, movement, light, and design. Composer and electronic music innovator Dan Deacon creates and performs a bold original score live on stage, igniting an immersive landscape where the seasons pulse with urgency and wonder. Four visionary choreographers, Morgann Runacre-Temple (Summer), Penny Saunders (Fall), Jamar Roberts (Winter), and Trey McIntyre (Spring), each bring a distinct season to life, revealing nature as the driving force at the heart of the story: fragile, fierce, and magnificently alive.

With visually arresting costumes and scenic design by Emma Kingsbury and evocative lighting by Christopher Ash, the production surrounds audiences in a fully realized sensory environment. Music unfolds in real time, movement surges through shifting landscapes, and light transforms the stage into a world in constant evolution. Inspired by Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, reimagined through a contemporary lens, this groundbreaking collaboration dissolves the boundaries between performer and viewer, drawing audiences into an intimate, immersive journey through the beauty, volatility, and wonder of our planet.

We can’t wait to share this one of a kind experience, including pre-show performances by dance organizations from across the region, and the return of #OneDanceOnePhilly, a joyful citywide movement where performers and audiences come together and dance. Check back in for our pre-show performance schedule!

Co-commissioned with ArtPhilly’s What Now: 2026 Festival and Highmark Mann, in honor of America250. Supported in part by Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
