Merce Cunningham Centenntial

The Merce Cunningham Trust has announced a year-long celebration to honor the centennial of his birth:

And details:

Interesting to see how much of the centennial will be concentrated in France:

Ballet de l'Opéra national de Paris, CCN – Ballet de Lorraine, Chaillot Théâtre national de la danse, Compagnie CNDC d’Angers / Robert Swinston, Festival d’Automne à Paris, La Villette, Le Centre national de la danse, Lyon Opera Ballet, Montpellier Danse, R.B. Jérôme Bel, Théâtre de la Ville, Théâtre du Châtelet

Arguably, France is now the true home of Cunningham's legacy. (I wonder if the Paris Opera Ballet will be reviving Un Jour ou Deux in Fall 2019?)

I'm hoping that someone in Seattle picks up on this -- it would be shameful to miss this opportunity.
