that people could live without limbs but not without a torso, a center–by way of explaining the importance of an expressive torso in his work? Of course you do. It’s in my 1995 interview in Ballet Review with his assistant Airi Hynninen. I told that to a ballerina once and she said it gave her a key about how to perform his ballets. It showed on stage.

As a result, they are existing in a weird, unstable limbo where every statement, interaction is flyaway because completely transactional.
