Lamentation was created in New York on January 8, 1930, at the Maxine Elliot’s Theater, set to music by Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály. Performed almost entirely while seated, the piece features a dancer enclosed in a tube of purple jersey. The tension and diagonals her body imposes on the fabric create a true moving sculpture, a striking portrait of pain. Stripped of all human, animal, feminine, or masculine identity, the figure becomes the very embodiment of grief.
