Created by Irma Duncan in 1932 for her company, the work stems from Irma's work with Isadora. She was given the challenge of finishing this work. It was reconstructed by Julia Levien in 1984 for Duncan Dance Continuum, uner the direction of Judith Landon. Ms Jucovy performed in the piec at that time, and reconstructed it for Dance Visions NY in 2025 for "The Body Resilient." This piece expresses the timeless theme of oppression and despair giving way to hope and possibility.
