various aspects of physics.Time marches on and

monetizing is invented,and the telephone; so isthe internal combustionengine, as well as globalwarming, industrial disas-

ters, oil slicks and death.Don’t worry. Death is

a temporary thing here.Puppeteers will do I & O,but not death. And thepresentations are wittyand charming and imagi-native. For anyone.

This is PS 21’s sixth sea-

son and the organization’spresident, Judith Grun-berg (a self-proclaimed“city girl and rural per-son”), dreaming of makingthe arts a unifying force inthis community, boughtland off Route 66 andwith help from her friends

built a beautiful stage withgood lights and sound in alovely place.

Grunberg, at 70-some-thing, is sharp and chattyand heedless of minutiaesuch as a dropped cam-

era. “Oh, I do that all thetime,” she says, picking itup and replacing it overher shoulder.

She wanted to presentchamber music, here, shetells me, even Bach. Herhusband loved Bach. Butgetting people to music

like this is like “pull-ing donkeys through thejungle.”

So, she continues tostage an amazing varietyof shows including im-prov, cabaret, clogging,films (like “The Gardenof the Finzi-Continis”

one night, Woody Allen’s“Radio Days” another),swing dancing, plays andthe annual Paul GrunbergMemorial Bach Concertwhich has featured Eu-gene Drucker performing

in a trio, and this year,The Four Nations En-semble playing the musicof Bach and sons.She figures if she can

get people to one kind of show, they may come backfor another kind. Some-times audiences surprise

her. In what she calls aflash mob, picnickers setup tables, laid out foodand wine, hung lightsfrom the apple trees anddined under starry skiesafter a show.

“People love this place,”she says.

here are almost no movements ina Mark Morris dance that look likeconventional dance steps. The basicbuilding blocks of locomotion welearn as children in a modern dance

class are all there: walk, run, slide, skip, gallop,jump, leap. But Morris’s dancers also crawl, scoochand lumber, and they gesture and mime, neitherof which usually sit comfortably in a dance piece.Rarely do they jeté, passé, or pirouette, thoughmany of the dancers are highly trained in classicaltechnique and capable of fluttering battements allday long.

The group shapes are equally simple: lines of 

dancers either vertical, horizontal or diagonal onthe stage. Large groups moving in a circle like afolk dance appear again and again.

From seemingly ordinary movements andshapes, Morris has created dances that are somuch more than the sum of their parts that it’shard to imagine how anyone could replicatehis achievement. For his company’s 30th 

anniversary, he brought a program of classic

pieces that illustrate his work’s tremendous depthand range to Jacob’s Pillow last week (a run of performances sadly curtailed by Hurricane Irene.My condolences to anyone who had tickets forSunday.)

“Resurrection,” from 2002, seems to be a dream— a gloriously silly one — in which a couple inmoon-and-stars pajamas gets caught up in a stylishmurder mystery (the music is Richard Rodgers’s“Slaughter on Tenth Avenue”). Surrounded bydancers in sharp black-and-white suits (each onea different pattern and designed by Isaac Mizrahi),the couple (Noah Vinson and Maile Okamura)become part of the story. First he shoots her, thenshe shoots him.To his basic vocabulary, Morris adds a few moresignature moves: the dancers hitch-kick (one kneegoes up, then the other foot, sometimes catching

This is two films, “Sarah’s Key.” One is about French col-laboration with the Nazis during the Holocaust, the otheris a tale of trans-Atlantic yuppie angst.

Julia (Kristin Scott Thomas) is a magazine writer with ahell of a story to tell — how Parisian Jews were rounded up

by the French authorities in the summer of 1942, herded into a sports

arena, then into camps, and finally shipped east.Sarah (Mélusine Mayance), the daughter of the doomed Starzynski

family, convinces her little brother to hide in the closet when the copscome, and she locks him in, making him promise to keep quiet.

It’s obvious that nobody’s ever going back for any reason, and watch-ing the horror mount as the family members are separated, as Sarahescapes with a friend and as the boy’s remains are discovered is a power-ful piece of filmmaking. Director Gilles Paquet-Brenner deserves creditfor handling this violent material with understatement and class.

However, as one of the screenwriters (with Serge Joncour, based on anovel by Tatiana De Rosnay), he is also on the spot for foisting a fairlyflabby tale of Julia’s husband’s family being the ones who took over theStarzynski apartment, who were there when young Sarah burst in look-ing for her brother and who have held on to this deep dark secret eversince.

But what, exactly, is the secret? That this French family — the Tezacs— rented an apartment that had been occupied by a Jewish family?Why is this cause for generations of shame? Were they supposed to buckthe Vichy French and, by extension, the Nazis? It’s not very clear.

A far better question would have been, since the apartment smelledawful, and the closet was locked, why on earth didn’t the Tezac familybreak the door open?

The flashbacks include brief sequences of French citizens mockingtheir Jewish neighbors as they are led off, and all the French cops looklike de Gaulle, more or less. So maybe the idea is to point out differentlevels of guilt or responsibility.

If so, it gets lost in the yuppie drama, as Julia, now obsessed withtracking down Sarah, jets all over the place and fights with her husband

about whether or not to have an abortion.The flashback sequences are skillfully done and absolutely riveting.

The present-day sequences suffer from a lack of focus. Is this a historicalthriller, or is this a self-esteem exercise?

Worth seeing for Thomas and Mayance alone, but the rest of the cast,also, is solid and convincing. 

Rated PG-13 for disturbing sequences about the Holocaust. “Sarah’s Key”is playing widely.

. . . And

the Art

ings of similar color arehung in small groupings.Best are two paintings of various shades of red andseveral with light brownsjuxtaposed against red andwhite or against darker

browns with white andcharcoal gray.

Some of the paintings,though I doubt Kesslerwould agree, look likeGoogle maps of highwayexchanges in a flat, bar-ren geography. Others arelike the leaves you placed

on paper and then screenpainted in elementaryschool art class. Theyhave the interesting qual-ity of remembered land-scapes and time.

Kessler and his wifewill be in Lakeville forthe show’s opening; infact they are staying twonights in Salisbury, andthe artist will adjust place-ment of the paintings.Singelis says he is a friend-ly, “bear of a man,” wholoves to talk and answerquestions about his work.

  Michael Kessler, Art

… a la Carte is at Argazzi Art, 22 Millerton Road, inLakeville, CT, through Oct.23. An opening reception

 for the artist will be Sept.3, from 5 to 7 p.m. Call860-435-8222 or go towww.argazziart.com for fallhours.

 

CorrectionLast week’s story

about Edward Bern-stein’s new play, “TheTrial of Franklin DelanoRoosevelt,” incorrectlystated that it was an

Aglet Theatre produc-tion. It is directed byMacey Levin, artistic di-rector of Aglet Theatre,but it is produced by the New Stage PerformingArts Center in Pittsfield,founded by Nicki Wil-son. We regret the error.
