mark morris dance group returns to BAM’s Howard Gilman Opera House for the first time in three years, April 22-26. “Spring, Spring, Spring” is Morris’s 2013 interpretation of Stravinsky’s revolutionary “Le Sacre du Printemps.” He’s done away with the scenario—sacrificial virgins aren’t his thing—and instead features pure, full-bodied movement with hints of bacchanalian revelry. To make the music sound fresh, Morris chose a cleaned-up version by the jazz trio the Bad Plus, who will play in the pit. (Morris’s credo is live music, always.) “Words,” set to Mendelssohn’s “Songs Without Words”—get it?—uses a theatrical device from South Asian dance: a curtain conceals dancers as they enter and leave the stage. “Whelm,” the one world première in the two programs, is a quartet set to two moody preludes and an étude by Débussy.
