Spurred by Carolina Ballet director Robert Weiss’ experience viewing a series of paintings by a Czech artist Alphonse Mucha in Prague, the ballet tells the tale of dawn, day, and dusk.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, the love story also features Time Gallery and Weiss’s collaboration with Pulitzer prize-winning New York based composer, Paul Moravec. Spectrum News anchor Caroline Blair sat down with Scearce, and principal dancer Lara O'Brien, for a look inside the world premiere of this show.
