In Rhode Island, the word “Hope” is ubiquitous. In the time of Covid-19, the word takes on an entirely new significance.

In this new piece, produced during a time of uncertainty and isolation, Festival Ballet dancers offer a whole new perspective on Hope, from points along the road in Providence that bears its name.
