Paul Taylor Dance Company

Music specially composed by Donald York
The title refers to the nearly straight line configuration of three or more celestial bodies in a gravitational system. Accompanied by an urgent score, dancers hurtle across the stage like so many bodies in space – orbiting, eclipsing and colliding into each other. “Syzygy comments on life… [It] emerges as a major piece of movement invention – a ferocious outpouring of energy, full of jiggly, gyrating body shapes new to Mr. Taylor's work.” – Anna Kisselgoff, New York Times
