 Marc Chagall at Weinstein Gallery: Daphnis and Chloe
The story of Daphnis and Chloe, a pastoral elegy attributed to the Greek poet Longus, dates from the second century A.D. It is a classical romance involving the adventures of two foundling children raised by adopted parents who are humble shepherds in the idyllic setting of the Isle of Lesbos.
In each instance the shepherd who finds the baby is alone and tempted to steal their treasure and leave them to fate, but instead bows to the paternal instinct to nurture and raise the child as his own.
As Daphnis and Chloe grow to be young adults tending their adopted parents' sheep and goats on the sun-drenched Grecian hillsides and pastures, they discover that their friendship is turning to love but in their innocence they do not know how to proceed.

A though Nassos Daphnis associated with the most influential painters on the American scene during his developmental years, he was never identified with a school or trend.
The emotionally fired Abstract Expressionism with its spontaneity and seemingly unbridled technique was as foreign to Daphnis as academic art, which he also rejected as shallow and commercial.
Born in Krokeia, Greece, near Sparta, at age sixteen Daphnis departed for America from Athens, where for the first time he experienced the art of classical Greece and fell under the spell of the perfection and pure geometry of the Parthenon, a unique moment that would remain as a source of inspiration throughout his life.

His Daphnis must be seen as a counterpoint to that of Theokritos, the originator of pastoral poetry who dies from love and for whom creation mourns.
The fact that Daphnis and Chloe were born aristocrats, suckled by animals, raised as slaves in the pastoral world and watched over by gods suggests their careers synthesize these different worlds.
The willingness of Chloe and Daphnis to play the mythic roles Eros creates for them allow others, from both city and country, to be included during the wedding in what becomes a comedy of innocence as the world of purely aggressive Eros is transcended.

Daphnis and Chloe: wonderful to see the original sets again; I liked the ballet more than I think I ever have before, but didn't think it was well enough done - Yoshida was charming but there is far more depth in the role than she found.
A wonderful score in itself, it's far from ideal when it comes to putting it on stage - too much music in some places, not enough in others where the story needs to be told, and so gloriously lush at times that it threatens to overwhelm anything mere dancers can do.
Interestingly I have just acquired an old (1951) programme for Daphnis and Chloe and have also read some of the criticisms that were made then.
