51. "Dante Variations" by Paul Taylor Dance Company


I caught Paul Taylor's adaptation of the work of Dante. I'm assuming he's referring to Dante's "Inferno" because it seems like this piece was choreographed straight out of Hell. Don't go and expect anything artistic. The costumes alone (designed by Santo Loquasto) are enough to want you to look at anything but the stage, but DO go to hear Ligeti's beautiful "Musica Ricercata" for the barrel organ.
