ONE Tickets On Sale Now

Ririe-Woodbury presents the final show of the 49th season, ONE, April 25-27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. ONE is also the final performance under the artistic direction of Charlotte Boye-Christensen, who departs the Company after 11 spectacular seasons.
The performance includes the world premiere of one hundred thousand by German choreographer, Johannes Wieland. The work explores the idea of trying to escape the power of icons and heroes, and questions the existence of antiheroes. Also restaged is the powerful If My Right Hand Would Say What My Left Hand Thought (2005) by Mexican choreographer Alicia Sanchez, based on the writing of Paul Auster. It explores how chance encounters with others can send a person's life in unexpected new directions. Rounding out the performance is Charlotte Boye-Christensen’s stunning, Bridge, (2005) about the division created between men and women, and the physical entanglements that ensue.
