Ma Maison
with Live Music by Preservation Hall Jazz Band

“Vibrant New Orleans-style jazz and brilliant contemporary ballet” (L.A. Times) take the stage with an unforgettable evening featuring a landmark work by BODYTRAFFIC Creative Partner and choreographic icon Trey McIntyre.

In Ma Maison, McIntyre pays tribute to the vibrant life-and-death rituals of New Orleans, with BODYTRAFFIC’s dancers moving in communion with the electrifying live sounds of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Performed with musicians on stage and featuring intricate, newly reconstructed costumes, this rare restaging is both a remembrance and a celebration of a vibrant jazz tradition. 

Through McIntyre’s signature blend of cinematic flair and musicality, this program showcases BODYTRAFFIC’s technical virtuosity, emotional depth, and sleek style.
