In Machinal: A Dance of Defiance, Ballet RI Questions Convention

by Kyra Laubacher | May 6, 2026

Onstage, two dancers perform a pas de deux in white shirts and shorts. Styles Dykes lunges forward and reaches up and forward to support his partner, Alexandra Troianos, who does an attitude penché in front of him. Behind them is a large purple and brown backdrop made to look like compartments carved in wood.
