Three Atmospheric Studies February 28, 2007

William Forsythe's 'Three Atmospheric Studies' drives home, in crystalline movement and a rush of startling words, the horror and hypocrisy of war. One of the most influential director/choreographers of our time, Forsythe ('Kammer/Kammer,' 'EIDOS:TELOS') has created a radical, captivating vision of dance-theater that combines spoken text and ravishingly complex choreography. This is his most political work to date, triggered by the imagery and fallout from conflict in the Middle East.
