'Pepperland'

When: June 28-30, 8 p.m. 2018

Mark Morris Dance Group’s imaginative work, Pepperland, offers a fresh take on classic music by the Beatles. Inspired by the groundbreaking 1967 album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, dancers clad in colorful mod-style costumes perform nuanced choreography that evokes the energy of the transformative decade. Music, of course, is central. Jazz composer and former Bad Plus pianist Ethan Iverson’s original score features Iverson’s own compositions and updated arrangements of the album’s iconic songs. An octet including theremin and harpsichord provides live accompaniment for the multifaceted production that the Telegraph calls “a brilliant homage to one of the great rock albums.”

Price: $12.50-60.
