Two robed, engraved hands form a shadow puppet dove, its wings the base for a book. On the recto, Daniel is in the lion’s den. On the verso are three textual passages, the first expunged with black marker, another added in pencil. Hovering above, haloed by gold paint incised with ball-point and adorned with snakeskin, is a photograph of the artist, a goat’s skull in each hand, posing before the jumbled jars, images, and objects of an alchemist’s shop. To the left are two primitive tarot cards, a skull with crossed bones, and a scorpion, with captions in Spanish. All of this is superimposed upon a map of Africa.

The most immediate form of validation for a performance is applause. And the applause, cheers, and general support that was in full force at Ephemeral/Indelible were well-deserved. The evening consisted of five works: Four were developed by graduating student choreographers, while the fifth was a highly anticipated restaging of Jose Lim³n’s suite from Psalm. The varied program was choreographically strong and beautifully danced.
