BUTTERFLY takes flight once again April 2024!

The production, which originally premiered 20 years prior, is heralded by the Kansas City Star as one of those “rare occasions when an artistic gamble really paid off.”

You won’t want to miss the return of this beloved production, a moving, original story about a woman and her family as they manage the effects of Alzheimer’s disease in their life. Told in a way that only dance and Störling can accomplish, Butterfly will fill you with hope!

“Thanks to the guiding vision of choreographer and artistic director Mona Störling-Enna, “Butterfly” tells a very human story with pathos, intelligence, humor and guts. “Butterfly” is a totally successful piece of dance theater.”
