...time is one of ferment and potential rebirth. This is so precisely because it is a time full of chaos ... It was only natural that Sigmund Freud should at the beginning of his career have thought of the irrational aspects of-the human personality as chaotic and potentially dangerous powers ... It did not occur to him that chaos in itself may represent a very positive and fertile current of life. For the people of the Old Testament, especially in the creation story, the question was not: 'Why is there chaos?' but rather: 'Why is there order?' For them, order...

Adds Director Lew Christensen of the San Francisco Ballet: "It's a good story, and the audience is not belabored with reading pro gram notes to find out what's going on." As the ballet opens, a spinning sun swirling over a landscape like a moon crater gives way to a lush Garden of Eden where two angels. Raphael and Lucifer, poke...
