Bill T. Jones / Arnie Zane : "Blind Date" July 19, 2006

(part of Lincoln Center Festival)


What does it mean to be patriotic? Whom does
patriotism serve? In the hands of choreographer
Bill T. Jones, dance becomes an extraordinary
tool for probing lifes big questions. Blind
Date asks hard, sensitive and often subtle
questions about honor, sacrifice, duty and
loyalty in a world threatened by nationalistic
fervor and spiritual righteousness.

Last seen in Festival 2000, the company continues
to be one of the most intriguing in the world of
contemporary dance. With a constantly shifting
set, mesmerizing video imagery and music ranging
from Bach to Otis Redding, Blind Date is a highly
expressive multimedia work. In this provocative
collision of feelings (The Washington
Post), opposing forces clash with one another as
the young, intense and daring dancers create a
tantalizing visual and theatrical landscape.
