Zenaida Yanowsky

June 20, 2016

Zenaida's everyday job for 25 years has been eyelashes and the whole works, and she wanted to represent that here.

And for the past couple of years she's been thinking about retirement, and she wanted to deal with that too.

She says dancing is liberating and all that stuff, but one forgets when you have a bad performance how shit it is, and how that feeling of liberation stops.

But all the same, when she dances she feels the instinct and freedom that a wild animal has.

(to the tune of Cherubino's 'Voi che sapete' from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro)
