Every Tuesday, 6pm-8pm: Ratpack Reborn

Twyla Tharp celebrates her 60th anniversary with a Coast-to-Coast tour featuring her Olivier-nominated Diabelli, set to Beethoven’s masterpiece of the same name, and SLACKTIDE, a new dance to a reimagining of Philip Glass’s iconic Aguas da Amazonia. Showcasing Tharp’s uncanny and witty use of music to create work of startling originality and beauty, the two dances once again ensure Tharp’s place as one of the great artists of our time.

Step into a reimagined reality where light, sound, and urban culture converge at City Lights
