A correspondence between choreographer Allie Hankins and Ballet Russes danseur noble Vaslav Nijinsky.
Appropriating Nijinsky's obsessive repetition, approach-avoidance and sexual deviancy, Hankins constructs an amalgamation of herself and the notoriously troubled dancer. As imitation dissolves into disorientation and false memories, Hankins endures with a persistence unique to bodies in spiritual crisesconfronting isolation and desperation in the pursuit of corporeal transcendence.
Against a backdrop of lurid color and gold-bathed muscle, Hankins negotiates the impermanence of identity, and the volatility of solitary retrospection. Embodying movement's capacity to engender lust, repugnance, confusion, and ultimately elation, Like a Sun inhabits the space between confinement and liberation, reality and fantasy, myth and man.
