Read the program notes by Debra Cash and libretto
Mark Morris is a world-renowned choreographer of great ambition and endless invention; a dance master, though still brilliantly sculpting his legacy. He is also an unusual figure in the depth of his commitment to dance as a live music experience. Mark Morris uses recorded music only when artistically necessary and sticking to this standard is a challenge that is also an enormous part of his artistic success. Both dance and music breathe and live in a Mark Morris Dance Group performance.
"Music is in the flesh and in the moment, and it joins together those who hear it in a way that’s both ancient and inexplicable.” —Mark Morris
