Biblical Pieces


A collage of Stravinsky's sacred choral works bringing together actors and dancers. Donald Byrd was credited for the choreography of the "Threni" section, Morris for a piece to the "Ave Maria," "Credo," and "Pater Noster," but dancers were integrated into all other parts except for the "Babel" section.
