Pasatono is dedicated to the research, performance, composition, and promotion of the musical Mixteca culture.

A comic ballet in two acts choreographed by Alexei Ratmansky’s will have its New York Company Premiere. Set to Shostakovich’s The Bright Stream, with libretto by Adrian Piotrovsky and Fyodor Lopukhov, the ballet tells the story of the members of a farm collective in the 1930s and their humorous interactions with a group of visiting performers during the harvest festival.
The original production of The Bright Stream, with choreography by Lopukhov, was premiered on April 4, 1935 by the Maly Opera and Ballet Theater at the Maly Theatre in Leningrad.
