Firebird and Crash is a distinctive ballet program created by choreographers Ma Cong (Firebird) and Jonathan Watkins (Crash). Presented by Texas Ballet Theater, this program blends classical and contemporary ballet vocabulary to tell a striking, physical narrative. Although not a recording artist or band, Firebird and Crash has captivated audiences with its bold movement language and dramatic storytelling on stage. The work debuted in a world premiere run in February 2020 at Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth, a centerpiece of the Texas Ballet Theater season that year.
