The Times Are Racing
The New York City Ballet premiered choreographer Justin Peck’s “The Times Are Racing” in January 2017. Instead of ballet slippers and leotards, the dancers wore sneakers, loose tee-shirts and jackets that read: “Resist,” “Unite,” “Act.” The piece was meant to reflect chaos, anger, despair and joy, and was described as “a space to process contemporary life, and maybe experience catharsis.” It was, therefore, the perfect choice for a virtual performance during these strange times of COVID-19.
