D. Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye, Jack London's novel Martin Eden, Edward Hopper's painting Nighthawks,[1] and Mike Nichols's film The Graduate.[4]

The ballet uses a commissioned score by San Francisco Ballet Orchestra member Shinji Eshima, and other music by Kathleen Brennan, Gavin Bryars and Tom Waits.[5] The sets, costumes, lighting and video were designed by Alexander V.
