"The idea was beautiful:
starting from the famous Atlas figures or Caryatids
by Pierre Puget, projected on an immense screen
(magnificent photography by Ernestine Ruben), the
statues come to life, dismember, and re-member
themselves. The dancer evolving their poses
imitated the figures perfectly yet
surrealistically, with lascivious, broken movements
of an incredible technical control. the connection
between the stone bodies and the dancers' bodies
could not have been more perfect. This was a superb
transference between mediums; it was original and
breathtakingly beautiful. . . Mark Franko's
choreography was both sumptuous and cut to the
essential core; the costumes were sober yet in
perfect osmosis with stone, the matrix from which
the forms sprung forth."
-- Jacques Brachet, Nice-Matin
