The Story of Job: When Bad Things Happen to Good People
The Story of Job: When Bad Things Happen to Good People first premiered in March, 2014. Since then, this breathtaking neoclassical story ballet has captivated audiences with its awe-inspiring virtuosity mixed with a relatable, heartfelt message. The ballet, with original choreography by Ballet 5:8 Artistic Director Julianna Slager, imagines the ancient Biblical story of Job in a modern day setting, following Job and his children on a journey where Job loses everything. As we see glimpses of conversations between between God and the Accuser, we have the opportunity to join Job as he wrestles with these losses and questions his relationship toward a God who seems to have forsaken him - or has He?
