Deos Contemporary Ballet returns to the stunning St. Cecilia Music Center stage this March to deliver a mixed repertoire ballet performance unlike any other. EMBER Series 24 celebrates ingenuity and innovation through incubating FOUR world premiere works alongside the return of an audience favorite from the company’s 2018 debut. These never-before-seen ballets were created right here in Grand Rapids to delight, inspire, and move our dedicated audiences and welcome in new faces.

The highlight of EMBER Series 24 is the world premiere of Locked Doors*, a ballet based on the tragic events of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Each character portrayed by our dancers was chosen after a year of researching the victims from the deadliest industrial fire in New York City’s history. Dancing meets live music and opera in a work of cinematic proportions. Locked Doors is not to be missed.

*Note: Locked Doors contains mature themes including death and a building fire, and also utilizes stunts, smoke, and strobe lighting. Parental discretion is advised.
