Presented by Miami Light Project and rooted in the soul-saving powers of a nightclub DJ and Balanchine’s Apollo (1928), Apollo by Pioneer Winter (2022 Awardee) reimagines the Greek god and his muses through the full spectrum of queer experience. Mythology, HIV/AIDS, personal history, and lineage unfold as a younger queer dancer unites with three elders, each a former incarnation of Apollo, revealing echoes of identity across time and space.
