Choreographer Merce Cunningham’s “Scenario” premiered at the BAM on October 14th, 1997 as a collaboration with Rei Kawakubo. Kawakubo explained, “When the natural movements of dance are repelled and refuted, you get new forms.” See excerpts of “Scenario” in “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,” on view through September 4th. http://met.org/2sk8RAl | The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
