保罗-泰勒舞团剧目介绍--《普罗米修斯之火》

　　《普罗米修斯之火》（2002）：

　　庄严肃穆的挽歌，浴血重生的征象，美国现代舞对“9.11”事件的深度反响。

　　天国之声的激荡，正义之魂的张扬，保罗·泰勒用血肉之躯建造的人性教堂。

　　Set to three keyboard works by Bach as richly orchestrated by Stokowski, Promethean Fire examines a kaleidoscope of emotional colors in the human condition. All 16 Taylor dancers, costumed in black, weave in and out of intricate patterns that mirror the way varied emotions weave themselves through life. A central duet depicts conflict and resolution following a cataclysmic event. But if destruction has been at the root of this dance, renewal of the spirit is its overriding message. A program note quotes Shakespeare, from Othello: Promethean fire “that can thy light relume.”

　　“A 25-minute maelstrom of controlled energy flooding the stage with an economy, passion and invention that reaffirms Taylor’s mastery`` – it belongs on any short list of his great dances.” Anna Kisselgoff, The New York Times
