“Scoring big for Alberta Ballet was Peter Pucci’s sensational Lifted by Love, a contemporary gem set to the music of k.d. lang. Pucci explores Lang’s belief that sexuality and love rule supreme. The ballet is bouncy and brutal and yearning all at the same time. It was a joy to watch.”

Pucci has taken ideas of Native American philosophy and incorporated them into an abstract and stunning visual work for four men.”
