NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale
“Walasse Ting”                                                                                                                                                                                

Walasse Ting Parrot Jungle is the first U.S. retrospective of Shanghai-born Walasse Ting (1928-2010), whose paintings fused Chinese calligraphy with post-war European and American abstract painting and the irony of Pop Art. His frequent sojourns to Florida produced vivid, lush scenes of historic Parrot Jungle in Coconut Grove. This exhibition presents Ting as a global artist ahead of his time, whose multicultural existence was at odds with art history’s prevailing narrow categorization of artists by nationality and style.

“Firebird”

Alive with color, excitement, and spectacular effects, Firebird is a fantastical and thrilling fairy tale about magic, love, danger and liberation. This reimagined Miami City Ballet production was the smash hit of our 2019/20 season and the only Balanchine Firebird performed outside of New York City Ballet.

While out hunting, Prince Ivan strays into a mystical forest where he encounters the exotic, immortal Firebird who gives him an enchanted feather that will summon her when he is in dire need. When Ivan falls in love with a beautiful Princess who is under the spell of the evil sorcerer Kastchei, he calls the Firebird, and the battle between good and evil is joined.
