Dark Matters
Dark Matters premiered in 2009 in Ottawa at The National Arts Centre. It was later co-presented by DanceHouse and the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad at The Playhouse Theatre in 2010 in association with The Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Dark Matters was called: "sinister magic with towering shadows, menacing puppets, and hooded figures." Pite was inspired by the mysterious forces of dark matter and its impact on the universe, interpreted through the body and mind. In The Guardian, Pite said the piece was about; "loneliness, obsession, and the danger of creation".

Dancer Peter Chu plays the puppet maker. He carefully constructs a marionette that begins to move on its own, operated by other dancers that are only seen as hooded figures and represent puppeteers. The marionette figure eventually destroys the puppet maker. This action can be seen as a commentary on the life of an artist and how, "what you create can destroy you." Towards the middle of the piece the hooded figures rip apart the set and make room for the second half to begin. In signature Crystal Pite style, the first section sets up a strong narrative while the second allows for a more movement-based abstraction of the story. Crystal Pite herself is revealed at the end as the puppet master. The piece asks the audience to question the notion of free will and the power of individual agency. The text that is used during the first section of the piece is from Voltaire's Poem on the Lisbon Disaster. 

Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival presented Dark Matters in 2011 and 2012.
