A David Bowie ballet called “Star Dust” is set to premiere on June 18 at Detroit’s Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts. The piece runs about 35 minutes and features all 15 dancers in Complexion Contemporary Ballet. They will be dancing to “Space Oddity,” “Changes,” “Modern Love” and “Life on Mars?,” as well as “Lazarus” from Blackstar. “It’s an abstraction,” Dwight Rhoden of New York’s Complexion Contemporary Ballet tells Billboard. “We’re basically looking at honoring each song and bringing a visual concept in movement and characterization to them. So there’s an interpretation going on per song, and there’s a thread throughout it but not necessarily a story. I think you’ll see a great love for the artist himself, and it’s really paying tribute to his incredibly wide-ranging career.” The company insists they had the idea for the ballet before Bowie’s death.
