WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
Does dance depend? Or is it independent? Questions that seem political. They arose in an aesthetic situation. What's to be said? People and sounds interpenetrate.
We thought that sounds took place in time. We see they're vibratory movements of particles in air. Each one, setting out from its point in space, gets to all its arrivals from a single departure. Thoughts about time drop off like dead skin. Dance takes place with one foot in the grave. "Dance or I'll shoot"- each time the curtain goes up.

THIS TOO
This too is your lot: to witness bitterly lewd silence
and just at those moments when only the Underworld knows
what a woman dares before a man decides,
both right in the middle between the fallen tree of youth
and the excrement of an old age.
This too is your lot:
bitterly to witness the adulterous lechery of music, exactly at those moments when, she, pushed into her crotch,
thrusts forth her breasts
so as to sough then from her nefarious mouth
through the wall cracked by Agamemnon's fall to you…
Vladimír Holan, This Too, from Walls, trans. Josef Tomáš
