Lubovitch works with a similar sort of gesture in Stravinsky's "Les Noces"--highly specific, mimetic gesture, yet abstract, interesting as pure form. Ignoring the abbreviated libretto Stravinsky wrote with Bronislava Nijinska for the 1923 Diaghilev premiere, the choreographer presents instead his own vision of a Russian peasant rite, an innocent bride and shy groom, their anxious yet wise parents, and high-spirited friends. In a recent interview Lubovitch explained...
...presence as a performer doesn't constitute the driving force of his work. Yet his presence as maker of the dance is much in evidence onstage. Not that he puts choreographic structure itself on show; his forms are too well-crafted to be immediately visible. Rather, his is the sort of choreography that lets performers perform.

Some guerrillas have been taken to East bloc countries for advanced instruction. To ward off the Rhodesian air force, which has been effective against the guerrillas, surface-to-air missiles are being shipped in by the Soviets. White Rhodesians, too, appear to be gearing for war. More and more "boomers"-soldiers of fortune harking to the boom...
