About the work: Diversion of Angels (1948) was choreographed by Martha Graham with a score by Norman Dello Joio. The ballet traces three couples, each representing a distinct facet of love: Adolescent (Yellow), Romantic/ Erotic (Red), and Mature (White). It premiered as Wilderness Stair in 1948 and was reintroduced in 1949 as Diversion of Angels. Today, it remains a staple in major company programs and is regularly staged by MGDC and ABT.
performer context: Diversion of Angels is performed by a company of world-class dancers who embody Graham's expressive technique and dynamic storytelling. The work is frequently presented in Graham100 initiatives and is widely documented in MGDC’s studio series and touring calendars for 2025.
