About Meadow
American
Ballet Theatre reprises this Lubovitch work from 1999, set to a
collage of music by Franz Schubert, Gavin Bryars, Ferruccio Busoni and William
David Brohn. The special event will take place on Saturday, October
28. In addition, Meadow will be performed by ABT on
October 24 and 27,
and on November 4 (matinee) and 5 (matinee).
In The
New York Times, Anna Kisselgoff wrote, "Meadow is a poetic,
dreamlike work...with a strong emotional undercurrent...evoking
love and loss. For all the lyrical wavelike patterns in the
opening and closing passages, it is easy to understand the impact of the
central duet and the thunderclap of applause that followed
it. Here is something new in the use of cantilevered
weight between two bodies and in sharply etched outlines that speak of
tenderness and understated passion."
Created in 2005, Recordare will have its New York premiere during the Limon Dance Company's fall 2006 season at the Joyce Theater. The dance is set to music originally composed by Elliot Goldenthal for a co-production by Music Theater Group and Lincoln Center of an original theatrical work, Juan Darién: A Carnival Mass, created by Julie Taymor and Elliot Goldenthal, and directed by Julie Taymor. (Goldenthal also composed the commissioned score for Lubovitch's full-length Othello.) The special event featuring the premiere will take place on Tuesday, November 14. In addition, Recordare will be performed by the Limon company on November 17, 18 (matinee), 19, 22, 25 and 26 (matinee).
According to The
Washington Post, "Life and death are clasped in a tipsy waltz in
Lar Lubovitch's Recordare ("Remember"), a boisterous
yet ultimately softhearted work... In a series of vignettes drawing on
the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration, the stage was peopled by
dancing skeletons, a jelly-bellied devil and Death himself, a saucy, naughty
trickster. Beyond the gaping skull masks and bright, folksy costumes that
made the work so funny, there was a tender tribute to the balm of religious salvation. The tone is tart and
the pacing is swift, yet there is genuine feeling in the ending, which recognizes the deeper mysteries of the belief
system at the core of the festival."
