The essence of Mark Morris’s art is ineffable, most emphatically not based on formulas and established narrative tropes. Rather, its genius is its ability to draw us in.
Jacob's Pillow is celebrating the Merce Cunningham centennial with performances, talks, and festival-long digital and film exhibitions in the Doris Duke Theatre and Blake’s Barn.
The entire performance is mesmerizing. Narration by actor Kathleen Chalfant and original music by Finish composer Kaija Saariaho fit perfectly with the dance.
I encourage you to be adventurous and give the many performances coming up this season, by artists unfamiliar to you, a shot. Please take a chance. You might be surprised.
