Pegasus Contemporary Ballet will present Amor Fati: An Evening of Greek Mythology, choreographed and conceptualized by Pegasus Contemporary Ballet’s resident choreographer and artistic associate, Carrie Ruth Trumbo.

The performance will complete the 2021-founded company’s second season and will be the first dance performance ever to grace the stage of the historic Kalita Humphreys Theater.

The production will take audiences on a journey through the captivating stories of Greek mythology, seamlessly blending dance, music, and spoken word. Trumbo's artistic vision and storytelling delves deep into the human experience, allowing spectators to explore the depths of emotion through the power of ancient myths and movement.

While Greek mythology is thousands of years old, its themes and insights still remain relevant today. Beyond that, any lover of dance and art will appreciate the beauty and emotional depth of this production.

Performing in the show alongside Pegasus Contemporary Ballet company dancers are six guest dancers from nationally acclaimed companies like Smuin Contemporary Ballet, Oklahoma City Ballet, and more.

The pieces will be set to a variety of musical works ranging from a lute and mandolin piece by Vivaldi, to a piano music by Norwegian composer Otto A.Totland, Puccini, and more. Local actors will be narrating the show in between pieces with stories of Greek mythology.
