Mercurial Son

About this event

Mercurial Son is Kyle Abraham's first work for American Ballet Theatre. The work brings together dynamic phrase work and an interweaving of classical and contemporary movement vocabularies. In the 2026 presentation, the ballet is driven by Grischa Lichtenberger's electronic score and swift, intricately layered movement. The production credits choreography by Kyle Abraham, music by Grischa Lichtenberger, costumes by Karen Young, and lighting by Dan Scully. Stephanie Terasaki and Tamisha A. Guy are credited as choreography assistants, while Caitlin Rain supervises costume design. The work runs for 21 minutes and is presented as part of the 2026 Neoclassical Works program.
