American Repertory Ballet presents Ethan Stiefel's SPIRIT OF THE HIGHLANDS

On March 7-9, American Repertory Ballet presents the breathtaking world premiere of Ethan Stiefel’s SPIRIT OF THE HIGHLANDS at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center. An adaptation of the renowned Bournonville ballet "La Sylphide," SPIRIT OF THE HIGHLANDS re-imagines the tale of a Scotsman’s romantic pursuit of a mystical forest spirit. Stiefel traces his mother’s family roots back to the Scottish Highland Clan Munro, and infuses his authentic heritage into the choreography and overall design aesthetics of this lively and bewitching ballet.
