Not seen here since the '70s, Holland's Nederlands Dans Theater presents a triple bill that exemplifies what Hubbard Street's departing director, Jim Vincent, will inherit this fall. Dark, intricate, and loaded, NDT's repertoire bets on mood and doubles down on near-flawless execution. Crystal Pite is Canada's premier choreographic export; The Second Person shows how her knack for same-sex duets and the perfect ending have made her a phenomenon. Spain's Sol Léon and Briton Paul Lightfoot collaborated last year on Shoot the Moon, which mashes Magritte's poetic surrealism into Lynch's meticulous eeriness. Jiří Kylián, a former director and originator of the company's signature style, is represented by Wings of Wax, a tried-and-true example of his dances' effortless beauty and unavoidable influence.
