This season, we’re excited to present a refreshed version of ARK, a powerful ballet that journeys alongside Noah through one of the most extraordinary stories in Scripture. New this year is the character of Noah himself, performed by acclaimed, Seyoung Kim, whose presence brings deeper dimension to the narrative. From the world before the flood, to the long days adrift on the water, to the promise of new life afterward—we explore each chapter of his experience with awe and artistry. This ballet dives deep into the emotional and spiritual landscape of Noah’s journey: the weight of isolation, the steadfastness of faith, and the hope found in God’s faithfulness. Join us as we bring this timeless story to life through movement, music, and meaning.
