The 2020 Pacific Northwest Ballet premier of Alejandro Cerrudo’s PACOPEPEPLUTO was generously underwritten by Susan Brotman.

Three solos for male dancers set to songs popularized by “the king of cool,” Dean Martin, in the ’50s and ’60s, PACOPEPEPLUTO shows Alejando Cerrudo’s skill at balancing aesthetic austerity and sharp wit.
