Just about every disjointed sequence was heavy handed and definitely repetitive. Judging from the audience's tepid applause, I feel I am not alone in this opinion.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431246135955251274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913278390524654713.post-70620660900119947742019-04-07T09:48:15.238-04:002019-04-07T09:48:15.238-04:00Using the words "devouring space at full thro...Using the words "devouring space at full throttle" and "undeniable power" when describing gaga - a technique born in an apartheid state - seems apt. <br /><br />But how can you propose the following questions about appropriation and colonization ( ...a dance titled Venezuela that has nothing, apparently, to do with that country?
