"It is possible that the things we live through do not make us stronger. I think of the ways I am more fragile now. The blueness larger, the heart a well-damaged muscle. The way my mind and heart must sometimes close their eyes upon meeting."
from “Knowledge of the Body” in Half-Life of Passion: Poems by Missy-Marie Montgomery, p. 48

Murder Ballades is a savvy, youthful ballet in sneakers set to folk-inflected music by Bryce Dessner. The most spectacular aspect may be its grainy, color-smeared backdrop, by Sterling Ruby, but the choreography also has its memorable passages, including a driving, almost square-dance-like section. It’s a very American piece, in the best sense of the word: athletic (so much running!), spacious, off-kilter, free.
