A few minutes before the world-famous steps of Balanchine’s genius grace the stage, the three pi dancers circle chaotically to music that might signal the end of the world. A shrieking pierce of sound ensues, followed by a deep voice that breaks the cacophony to declare: “Mathematics is the language of nature...
