"I wanted to set the characters in that time period, so he’s a World War I doughboy. So much of what Stravinsky wrote was based on folk melody, and was folk dance-based. But I think the texture of the music, and the subject, have an early 1920s, Weimar Republic tone. It’s early music theater—early performance art, really."

Lar Lubovitch in City Arts’ preview of Mr. Lubovitch’s performances at MMAC this weekend. The following weekend, Lubovitch opens the Harkness Dance Festival at 92Y. The Harkness performances at 92Y, City Arts noted, “mark a return to the building where Lubovitch presented his first-ever dance concert in the city in 1968.”
