Summary
Solo dances by Daniel Nagrin. "With my eye and with my hand" is a dedication to every man who has hesitated before one of many thresholds of the unknown and finally crossed into darkness, either perishing or adding a bit more light and a bit more space for himself and others. "Man of action" states that the urban man, in order to survive, must solve the problem of being in two or more places at the same time. "Indeterminant figure" shows that our vanities seduce us into ideal images of what to be and to do with our floundering selves. Humans select the sounds and sighs which support their illusions and try to ignore all else.
