Red Angels (1994) is a visually dramatic and dynamically charged abstract ballet that highlights its four dancers’ power and athleticism. In this work of intense color, sound and sensual impact, the dancers are clad in scarlet leotards and bathed in spots of blinding white or red-hot light, with music by Richard Einhorn for electric violin.
