BalletX, Philadelphia’s Premier Contemporary Ballet Company, kicks off its 11th Season with 'Sunset, o639 Hours,' created by choreographer Matthew Neenan and composer Rosie Langabeer. This full-length ballet interprets the dramatic, true story of aviation pioneer Captain Edwin Musick’s fateful 1938 airmail flight across the Pacific in a story of love, loss, and adventure.
With live music performed on stage by The Sunset Club, this one-of-a-kind ballet features instruments invented for the production by Neil Feather. 'Sunset, o639 Hours' immerses audiences in the world of the South Pacific, pre-World War II, as it weaves together original 1930s-inspired songs, field tapes, and archival recordings from Musick’s flights.
