INDIANA---Two major "marriage moments" took place this week in the Midwest; in fact, they were a high point of a long winter season. The first was Minnesota becoming the 12th state in the US to legislatively affirm marriage equality. The second was David Hochoy's world premiere dance rendition of "Les Noces" (The Wedding), with music by Igor Stravinsky. Both were bracing examples of the power of love. Hochoy's "Les Noces," performed by Dance Kaleidoscope of Indianapolis is spare, essential, rhythmically virtuosic, and utterly compelling—as the full weight and promise of marriage  descends down upon us. Everything feels just right and in its place. The performance is a celebration of virtuosity, fast paced and energetic, and concludes with a Priest's mystical blessing as Hochoy's dancers move in a state of marital bliss.
