Complexions Contemporary Ballet to Celebrate 30 Years with Auditorium Theatre Performance

The Auditorium has announced the return of New York-based Complexions Contemporary Ballet. Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the internationally acclaimed company will present a captivating evening of dance, featuring For Crying Out Loud—a Chicago premiere paying tribute to the legendary Irish rock band U2.

Following last year’s memorable David Bowie tribute, the second act of the evening will be entirely dedicated to For Crying Out Loud. The work features the full company of 17 dancers performing to some of U2’s most iconic hits, including “Where the Streets Have No Name,” “Every Breaking Wave,” “With or Without You,” “I Will Follow,” and “Pride” (In the Name of Love).

The first half of the performance will showcase a diverse mixed repertory program from Complexions’ rich 30-year history. The evening features ballets such as This Time, With Feeling (2024), Deeply (2024), Ave Maria (1995), Gone (2000), and Mercy (2009). This eclectic mix of works highlights the versatility and innovation of Complexions’ artistic vision.
