      Wow. What a moving, intense, gorgeous statement by a diverse group of men. One classically trained dancer, 4 B-boys and 2 drummers/percussionists. From the atmospheric score of rhythm, sounds and music, to religious text and spoken word, to strong bodies executing amazing shapes and moves, my attention was riveted to the stage from the moment I entered this sacred space. We traveled from the Zulu nation to Maori war rituals to inner city America to Iraq to pre-man, death and dust. Special mention to the teaming mass of mankind pulling at Rudi while speaking his treatise to man/war, ending in annihilation. This is the last time this piece will be performed. One audience member stated during the talk back, "You have changed my life - forever." Another, "Every child in America should see this piece." Run, don't walk, to the Long Center to pay witness to an amazing journey, for the dancers, the musicians and you. Collapse
