Unexpected humor and honest candor can be found in every article, and the photography and art direction elevate dance to the place of reverence and relevance it deserves. Bravo, Fjord."

An Evening of Horror
REVIEWS | Merilyn Jackson

An Evening of Horror

To say the least, the true story of a juvenile axe murderer seems unlikely to inspire a ballet. But the legends surrounding the late nineteenth-century murders of Lizzie Borden’s father Andrew and her stepmother, Abby persist, perhaps because Lizzie was ultimately acquitted, and no other suspect was ever identified or brought to justice.

Dream Ballets
