Mark Morris Dance Group (3.0/5)
Behemoth, Looky, Socrates
Howard Gilman Opera House, Brooklyn Academy of Music,
New York
26th February 2010
Morris’ choreography is more movement than dance; formal and fluid but missing the grand elements of ballet it lacks some spice. Behemoth is without music, making the Dance Group’s precisely synchronized movements all the more impressive. Looky, a short fun item verging on mime with musical theatre overtones and a gentle poke at critics. Socrates sentencing and death to music and lyrics by Erik Satie is so reverential as to lack any sense of drama.
