The Garden of Earthly Delights (martha graham)

This visual record documents a celebrated dance-theater presentation of Martha Clarke's avant-garde masterpiece 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' mounted in collaboration with the modern dance heritage files of the Martha Graham arena space. Conceived as a non-linear, hyper-kinetic physical mosaic that completely discards traditional text formatting, the production uses an atmospheric acoustic score by Richard Peaslee to bring Hieronymus Bosch’s iconic 15th-century triptych painting to living stage life, utilizing complex aerial flying harnesses and body-sculpting to chart creation and hell. This presentation records an absolute peak of contemporary physical expressionism.
