Passion is a Lonely Hunter\/Photo: Asya Skorik<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A work by choreographer Michael Getman, \u201cPassion is a Lonely Hunter\u201d explores the mutual connection between movement, language, and thought. Getman describes the work: Language often falters before the complexity of our experience, pointing to what is missing, brushing against the shadow of an absent thing it represents. Like hunters, we track the footprints left behind by what has already vanished. Passion is a lonely hunter pursuing a meaning for the unnamed. A chase of that which resists all possible symbolization. Perhaps, in the end, only the hunt remains.<\/p>\n
