In Hearing the Words we Don'T Say
Created by Marlyse Noble and presented courtesy of Ballet Vero Beach, this original work premiered at the Vero Beach Museum of Art on November 15, 2025. Inspired by the Museum’s fall exhibition Double Portraits, the ballet brings to life themes of identity, relationship, and human connection through expressive contemporary movement.
Through reflective insight from the artwork—alongside scientific readings, lived experience, poetry, and an authentic process of movement exploration—this choreography evolved into a 15-minute piece divided into four sections, each interpreting the shifting emotional perspectives that accompany human connection. The initial encounters of hope, the overwhelm solitude can carry, the overbearingness of undergoing detachment, and how this at times occurs through portraits and personas quietly.
