With the inundation of cash, the NEA embarked on a cultural spree of unparalleled largess since Da Vinci got his first jumbo box of crayons.
Thanks to Rocco Landesmann, the Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, this funding brings The Seismic Sextet to Vermont.

Festivities at the Flynn replete with imported Chinese Brie, sugar coated Concord grapes and of course, Vermont’s fine wines of the current month are situated throughout the lobby.

Swarming sycophants of all stripes look to get on camera; better yet, be seen conversing with the famed Native American performing Arts critic, Quattro Yeux who will be reviewing the show for his online column “A Muse ^ing Notes”.

In the highly acclaimed “Dance for Hunger Tour” of Eritrea and Darfur, the Seismic Sextet gave this sensitive, caring performance to thousands of inadvertent dieters, who congregated in stupefied rapture. The sheer enormity of the production nearly drove some attendees to cannibalism.

This performances, Yeux notes, “The solo drummer greets attendees of the Seismic Sextet solo performance of their signature routine, ‘Danse des citrouilles biologiques’ honoring the arrival of Great Organic Gourd and the Harvest, but it is soon lost in the ponderous primal pulsations on stage.” Continuing he says, “The initial beefy steps in the circular opening soon gains a tempo which has the patrons clutching their armrests with more than wide-eyed expectation.”

Spontaneous directional reversals combined with springing arabesque penchée deliver booming counterpoints to the tight pirouettes and plies. The handsprings simply stun; so much movement in space/ not space on stage.
The dancers rapidly lift audience anticipation as the movement reaches its crescendo, in a finale of capacious booming that sways huge chandeliers, shakes aged dust from the risers bringing down parts of the house.

Exiting theater goers appeared speechless, a bit dusty and dazed from the show. One Burlington arts dilettante commented of the routine saying, “I didn’t think it was possible to fit all that on one stage! Jeezus, no wonder there’s world hunger.”

A return engagement for the “Rites of Spring” production will be issued if structural engineers declare the Burlington Flynn Theater safe.
Meanwhile, the troupe will make the rounds of the major colleges and universities in the area, to receive toadying adulation from the liberal and politically correct faculties.
