10 acrobats and the Debussy String Quartet celebrate the music of Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich in a work of stunning power, virtuosity and physical poetry.

Shostakovich’s quartets are by turns intimate, passionate, lyrical, ironic and deeply moving personal testimonies by one of the twentieth century’s greatest composers. Opus explores the complex relationships between the individual and the group, between the march of history and what dictates the heart, and between the tragic and the comic. It’s a melding of music and bodies at the highest level producing a groundbreaking work of intense power, one The Guardian calls “so remarkable as almost to defy description.” 

“…an evening so remarkable as almost to defy description… extraordinarily moving.” ★★★★★—The Guardian
