Day on Earth
« Day on Earth, in critic Margaret Lloyd’s words, is an « exquisite pastorale, » an objectified telling of man’s brief, but self-perpetuating, passage on earth. Shown are life’s joys and its trials–the warmth of love and family dependence, the anguish of leave-taking and of death. And throughout there is the theme of work–work as challenge, as necessity, as opportunity, and as solace for grief. Only four dancers are used to relate this saga and it is told in the space of 20 minutes. No more dancers, no more time, it seems clear at the end, are necessary. »
