Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment is a devastatingly modern psychological thriller that provided choreographer Helen Pickett and director James Bonas with a startling source for a ballet. Pickett brings the work to life in a striking new ballet, featuring music by Isobel Waller-Bridge, sets and costumes by Soutra Gilmour, lighting design by Jennifer Tipton, and video design by Tal Yarden. Before the premiere, American Ballet Theatre Artistic Director Susan Jaffe moderates a discussion with members of the cast and creative team, and excerpts are performed.
