Dance of the Diapered Nihilists In performance, I'm sure this is a profoundly moving dance piece. But it's
somehow less effective as a post card.I mean, LOOK at these people! They cut off their pants legs, bunch them around their ankles and shuffle around Cinderella? In baggy boxer shorts? Wearing shades? Out of context, the allegory
beats me. I'm really glad someone chose to immortalize this moment on a post card, though. A note on the back says this is "Karte 10 von 10." Sure wish I had the other nine. [Ed. note: We´ve just heard from
Carter Mackey, whose note
sheds more light on this fascinating event.] Caption: "Wuppertaler Tanztheater, Pina Bausch, Ballettabend II, 1985. Helen Pikon, Jean-Francois Duroure,
