Choreographer William Forsythe’s installation, «City of Abstracts», turns the eye of a camera on the people of a city. As they move through its streets, onto its trains, as they pause on its sidewalks, their image is projected onto a giant screen. Their movements and pauses, velocities and directions, the straight and curved paths taken become a dance of spiraled, stretched bodies, of vanishing and re-appearing heads. The street scene is morphed into a seething tableau that invites the passersby to offer movement, as it feeds back to them the complex un-noticed choreography in which they are already engaged.
