Paul Taylor Dance Company

Music by Johann Sebastian Bach, orchestrated by Stokowski
The kaleidoscope of emotional colors in the human condition is displayed in a work in which dancers weave in and out of intricate patterns that mirror the way varied emotions weave themselves through life. A cataclysmic event leads to recovery and the triumph of the human spirit. “It has grandeur, majesty and spiritual dimension. It is also quite simply one of the best dance works choreographed by Paul Taylor. Just the sheer architectonics of the complex and contrapuntal patterns overwhelm the eye. [The dancers] are building blocks in the human cathedral that Mr. Taylor constructs uncannily and perfectly with such powerful emotional resonance.“ – Anna Kisselgoff, The New York Times
