Salvador Dali couldn’t have thought of a situation more sublimely absurd. But those very ingredients formed the basis of “7x7x7x7x7,” a modern dance piece choreographed by Ryuji Yamaguchi ’03 and performed in New York City early last month.

Rodin was 41, on the brink of fame after decades of frustration. He was also a dedicated satyr. The dancer Isadora Duncan, whom he would meet some years later, once said that whenever they were together she felt like "a nymph in front of a centaur."
