In the Balance: Ballet for a Lost Year is an intimate portrait of a ballet company attempting to stage a live performance during the pandemic. The series of nine short episodes follows the dancers, the choreographers, the crew, and the staff of Ballet West as they navigate colossal logistical and emotional challenges in anticipation of opening night, wondering if the curtain will rise. Gently set against the backdrop of a volatile world, the series explores how art can be essential in a time of crisis, how passion can displace fear, and how collective grief can be alchemized into beauty.
