What happens when a ballet becomes a moving painting?

Remi Wörtmeyer’s Significant Others draws inspiration from the bold colors, geometric forms, and multidisciplinary work of modern artist Sonia Delaunay. From vibrant, hand-painted costumes to striking circular set pieces, the ballet brings Delaunay’s ideas about color, movement, and art to life onstage. But Sonia Delaunay was more than a “significant other.” Her influence stretched across painting, fashion, textiles, theater, and design, leaving a lasting mark on the art world and inspiring artists long after her time. Discover the story behind the artist who helped inspire Significant Others and the connection between Delaunay’s work and Wörtmeyer’s ballet. Click the link in our bio to read the full story.
