Omaha Performing Arts presents the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet in the Slosburg Hall at the Orpheum Theater Thursday, February 19, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $15, and are available at TicketOmaha.com, 402.345.0606 or at the Ticket Omaha Office inside the Holland Center, 1200 Douglas St. Immediately following the performance, audience members are invited to participate in a free post-performance discussion with Aspen Santa Fe Ballet artists.

A review by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch described the number: “Set to an eclectic score, with lighting that evoked moods from the eerie to the joyous, ‘Square None’ made imaginative use of the dancers’ athleticism in its pursuit of abstraction. But the piece also yielded moments of grace that suggested that De La Cruz is as much a poet as he is a craftsman…”
