Trey McIntyre On Creating Your Flesh Shall Be a Great Poem

“What if this portal opened up and I had this one day to interact with my grandfather?”

Choreographer Trey McIntyre talks about creating his ballet Your Flesh Shall Be a Great Poem—and how a lunar eclipse affected his work. Your Flesh Shall Be a Great Poem, created for SF Ballet’s 2018 Unbound festival, returned in SF Ballet’s 2019 Season as part of Lyric Voices (March 27 to April 7, 2019).
