"No dancer has been more exceptional than Mikhail Baryshnikov, and no quest more exciting and rewarding than his," says The New York Times of this master of reinvention's restless explorations into the future of modern dance. Baryshnikov returns to Cal Performances with another glimpse at that exciting frontier in this program of works created entirely at the newly opened Baryshnikov Arts Center (BAC) in New York, built to be a creative laboratory, meeting place, and performing space for a vibrant community of experimental artists from dance, music, theater, film, design and visual arts. Featuring dancing by Baryshnikov himself and a hand-picked troupe of young dancers, the West Coast premiere of Hell's Kitchen Dance spotlights three new works from two of BAC's most sensational artists-in-residence: audacious Canadian choreographer Aszure Barton, winner of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago's National Choreographic Competition, and New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Benjamin Millepied.

Program: Benjamin Millepied/Years Later; Aszure Barton/Come In; Over Come
