Description
Summary:"The Geography Trilogy is the fruit of a 9-year investigation that followed [Ralph] Lemon's 1995 decision to disband his postmodern dance company and search for a new relationship to his work...The thematic questions of The Geography Triology - questions about the possibility of intercultural collaboration, the problems of translation, the allegiances of race, and the power and reliability of memory- are not likely to be answered definitively in dance ... But the medium of dance allows these questions to resonate, and Lemon has certainly attained his primary goal, which was to open a conversation." - Katherine Profeta, from insert.
