Pilobolus Executive/Co-Artistic Director Renée Jaworski and Artistic Director Matt Kent brought their visionary artistry to their collaboration with Lorelei Ensemble’s reinvigorated love fail, which debuted on February 5, 2025, as part of Denison University’s Vail Series in Granville, OH. The choreography infused the piece with Pilobolus’s signature physical storytelling, enhancing the emotional depth and narrative complexity of David Lang’s haunting composition.

Performed by a quartet of dancers that included Krystal Butler, Erin Dooley, Quincy Ellis, and Kingsley Ibeneche, the work featured evocative visuals amplified by the Grammy-nominated Lorelei Ensemble’s soaring vocals.
