Choreographer Molissa FENLEY's (ACC 1990, 1998) celebrated solo work, State of Darkness, originally commissioned by the American Dance Festival in 1988, pairs Stravinsky’s complete The Rite of Spring with an intense 35-minute solo performance of relentless fervency, technical precision, and fearless abandon, brought to the Chautauqua stage by American Ballet Theater Principal Dancer Cassandra Trenary. Fenley reimagined the commanding score as the sonic landscape for a solo journey, rather than the usual ensemble interpretations.

The dance work is performed to the entire score  Le Sacre du Printemps by Igor Stravinsky, conducted by Jonathan McPhee.
