About The Joffrey Ballet: Atonement

Witness the U.S. premiere of renowned choreographer Cathy Marston's 'Atonement', based on Ian McEwan’s 2001 novel-turned Academy Award®-winning film.

The poignant story follows Briony Tallis, revealed in the book as its author and here as a celebrated choreographer, as she grapples with the haunting echoes of her past.

Marston’s adaptation unfolds the tragic love story of Briony’s older sister, Cecilia, against the historical backdrop of 1935 England to explore the intricate layers of societal norms and the enduring impact of a single lie. Enveloped in Rossi’s evocative musical score, with dynamic choreography that shows the complexities of self-deception, the transformation of memory, and the weight of guilt, Atonement shares an emotionally charged experience with a startling twist finale that will linger in your soul.
