In May 2023 American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Herman Cornejo made his MetLiveArts debut with “The Apartment,” a new work he choreographed as part of Catalyst Quartet's 2022–23 Met residency. Set to Astor Piazzolla's passionate “Suite del Ángel,” the piece chronicles the internal struggle of a person in a competitive, impersonal society, his inner demons threatening to swallow his humanity at every step.
Recorded on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, in The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium.
Quartet in Residence programming is made possible by the Grace Jarcho Ross and Daniel G. Ross Concert Fund. Additional support for this performance was provided by the Adrienne Arsht Fund for Resilience through Art and the Arnhold Fund for Dance Innovation at The Met.
MetLiveArts thanks the Center for Ballet and the Arts at New York University for providing rehearsal space for this program.
