 Carolina Ballet artistic director Robert Weiss did not like the film "Black Swan" for its obsessive, fragmented depiction of "Swan Lake." He's featuring some original choreography from the Tchaikovsky work on his season opener, "Black and White Swan" hoping to entice the film's fans to explore ballet further. With two stunning additional works on the program, there should be converts. Carolina Ballet artistic director Robert Weiss did not like the film "Black Swan" for its obsessive, fragmented depiction of "Swan Lake."

 "Time Gallery," to music by Paul Moravec, is one of Weiss' most satisfying creations, full of original ideas and vivid images. In its 45 minutes, this 2008 work offers stage-filling patterns and striking pas de deux, invoking various impressions of time: monastic devotionals, clock mechanisms, the pulse's rhythms and memory's distortions. Under Ross Kolman's gorgeous lighting, 18 dancers swirl, spin and skitter about, often linking up dramatically, including the breath-taking final moments. "Time Gallery," to music by Paul Moravec, is one of Weiss' most satisfying creations, full of original ideas and vivid images.
