about

An intercultural ensemble work (India/West), based on the Phrygian mode, The King is Dancing was a direct result of my studies in Madras (Chennai), India, in the 1980s. The title has several meanings: firstly, I remembered a documentary about a Zulu chief who, after passing judgement in a tribal litigation, began to dance - enjoining the assembled members to do likewise. This image and idea resonated in me for some time, coming to represent the dignity of the sensual world. Then, well after I titled the work, I realized that there are other references to "a king who dances": a) King David danced before the people, and was criticized in some circles for a lack of dignity; and, b) very significantly for my journey in India, Lord Shiva, of Hindu mythology, dances an eternal dance of creation and destruction. ~ Moshe Denburg
