Night Journey [132375] Released: 1960-01-01 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 29 mins Popularity: 0.0955 Vote Average: 5.3 Vote Count: 7 Overview: Night Journey, the dance, had its premiere only two and a half years after Appalachian Spring, and it is a close cousin. It too has a stream-of-consciousness narration: Jocasta, as she is about to kill herself, remembering what has happened to her. It too contains soul-delving solos, broken up by ensemble dances. Here, however, the ensemble is a darker element. As the story was taken from Greek tragedy, so the corps is the equivalent of Greek tragedy’s chorus. They tell us how to feel: afraid mostly. In this piece Graham pushed her habitual economy to its limits.
