Globe reviews Minus One and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal

Sumacbit
The "Diva" segment from Ohad Naharin's Minus One



Thea Singer reviewed Ohad Naharin's "Minus One" by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal for Saturday's Boston Globe. Here's a taste:



"'Minus One' (2002) a play of shadow against light, is Naharin's
black-and-white ballet, down to the costumes. It's a stunning show,
with the pellucid lines of classical ballet and the gut-wrenching
contractions of Martha Graham."



Read all of All told, Minus One quite a number.



The "Diva" shot above is not particularly emblematic of "Minus One" except that surprise is a constant. The dancer is on stilts here, lip synching to Yma Sumac. Our diva was a bit more garish, with extreme makeup.
