Go inside the creation of The Accused, a bold new one-act ballet from choreographer Robert Poe. Inspired by Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, the piece reimagines the story through the eyes of Tituba, the enslaved woman often overlooked in traditional interpretations.

Centering the Tituba as a symbolic voice, Poe crafts a narrative that breaks from Eurocentric fairy tales and brings American history to the ballet stage. This behind-the-scenes look explores how Ballet 314 is pushing classical boundaries to tell stories that are both timely and deeply human.
