Martha Graham (May 11, 1894 – April 1, 1991) was an American modern dancer and choreographer whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence of Picasso on modern visual arts, the influence of Stravinsky on music, and the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright on architecture.
This is a short, simple example of her work. What are we to make of it? Well, given the title "Heretic", I suppose we are to assume the woman in white (Graham) has rejected the views of the majority, and they have shunned her. This is not ballet, but avant garde, or "modern" dance... a story is told through the character interactions, and very much open to interpretation.
