Cristian, with all respect, I have to note that you dismiss the Taylor, which you were predisposed to dislike before seeing it, without telling us why.  Can you at least tell us what you thought about the dancers?

Oh, I can't...since I never got to see it.  The reason I dismissed it is basically because my interest in dancing has/had always to do basically with tutus and pointes. I have rarely enjoyed anything from any other dancing artform, including flamenco-(which bores me to death), tap, jazz, ballroom, all that riverdancing thing and right on the very bottom, barefoot contemporary stuff.  That said, I have also had past experiences with Taylor's works, and they have had nothing to offer me.  I know it is my limitation, but that's how it is, so why should I keep trying...? The dancers could be wonderful, and enjoyable to me in other areas, but certainly not in Taylor.

I thought I remembered that you had not seen it.  I have to say, that this is a most original "case for the prosecution."

"Reasonable doubt" maybe...?

Perhaps "understandable, given the circumstances ..."???
