- **Event Name**: 2026 May Festival - On Love and Lust
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 21 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Raw, rhythmic and electrifying — featuring dancers from Cincinnati Ballet 2, this once-in-a-lifetime concert experience fuses music and movement in a visceral exploration of lust, ritual and desire. Stravinsky’s "Les noces" pulses with primal energy as it reimagines a Russian village wedding through driving percussion, voices and riveting choreography by Yoshihisa Arai. Orff’s "Catulli Carmina," drawn from the ancient poetry of Catullus, blazes with sensuality and irony, turning themes of passion and heartbreak into a bold, theatrical spectacle.
