Choreographer Amala Dianor, whose roots lie in hip-hop, is joining forces with Les Arts Florissants, led by Paul Agnew.

The baroque music ensemble has drawn from Carlo Gesualdo, a 16th-century Italian composer, nine excerpts from the *Répons des Ténèbres*—polyphonic works on Holy Week of unsettling intensity. Six singers perform these heart-wrenching pieces a cappella, in dialogue with four dancers who embody the physicality of Christ and his suffering. The dancers perform a routine that oscillates between flexibility and tension, drawing on a variety of techniques and styles, from classical to hip-hop and urban dance. Their mystical power strikes right at the heart.
