It was an entirely pointless moment of slapstick comedy that needlessly cheapened the previous half. “Contra Finem” was the first actual performance of the second half. Set to a live cello Brahms piece, Schreier’s modern choreography was complex, compelling, and absolutely stunning. The dancers lived up to the difficult choreography with a beautiful blend of angularity and fluidity.This group piece rivaled “Suffered Silence,” a solo choreographed and performed by Merritt A.

...popemobile descended the ramp, the sound of bagpipes from above mixed with the sorrowful tune of a single cello player below. Benedict stepped out near the bottom of the ramp to walk the final 35 yards. Amidst all the surrounding concrete and work equipment, he looked particularly slight of build in simple, but heavy white papal vestments for the cold morning. His normally brisk walk was even brisker than usual, seemingly eager to arrive before the pascal candle to pray. Silently he knelt down, and remained on his knees, eyes open, but otherwise lost in his prayer for more than...
