Three Atmospheric Studies
Α work by The Forsythe Company
Part I + II: Clouds after Cranach
Part III: Study III
Three Atmospheric Studies is a triptych of dances drawing on a wide range of iconographic traditions. It is also choreographer William Forsythe’s most explicit and most political work: a great performance, simultaneously furious and reflective, on one of the central conflicts of our time. Forsythe succeeds in creating imposing images of war purely by means of the human body, however, despite their great clarity he refuses to use these images to articulate a specific political thesis, preferring instead to generate choreography and direction out of the fatal inner energies of the conflict.
