Comedy aside, the group's technical skill came into clearer view. "Epic in Twilight" was their strongest performance, and the most creative and absorbing of their works. The opening pas de deux. "Aires," danced by Rika and Harry Streep III, set an intimate tone--not only between the couple on stage, but also between the audience and the dancers. At one point, curved over one another, coupled by their breathing, the two dancers expand and contract in a harmony of spherical shape that results in a burst of free movement as the two separate.

...general's off-white marble grave, where he lies beside his daughter Anne. The people come with flowers and handmade crosses of Lorraine, plaques and crude placards reading "To our leader," "notre grand chef" "to our liberator," "notre grand général." They come in battered deux-chevaux, creaking farm wagons, sleek Citroëns, by chartered trains and buses. General Jacques Massu, who was once sacked for his split with De Gaulle over Algeria and later won his way back into favor, came on horseback...
