move: the company
Inspired by both the Ian McEwan novel and the Academy Award Winning 2007 film directed by Joe Wright, "Atonement" combines intricate balletic movement and an abstract narrative to evoke symbols and imagery from the original source material. "Atonement" employs 21 dancers to pose a consistent shift in the perception of what is true, as it challenges audiences to solve the complex narrative puzzles it presents.
