“No other dancer ever looked like Paul Taylor, that strapping, elastic, goofy hunk of a guy, and no one else’s dance works look like his either—not the deep, dark ones or the zany ones or the uplifting ones.” —Robert Gottlieb
(We interviewed Paul Taylor in anticipation of next week’s release of Facts and Fancies. He is every bit as incredible as you imagine. Video coming soon!)

Set during a sultry month on the Mediterranean coast, Fresh Mint with Lemon explores the mounting tension in a triangle of love, power and desire between a Russian art critic, an American artist, and a provocative activist. Underlying this sexual and romantic tension are the dramatic events of the Prague Spring of 1968, cut short by the Soviet invasion.

![Dear Mr. Holzer,
You see, I live in a haunted house, and I do need help desperately. The other night I was reading in bed and smoking a cigarette. It was 9:30, and I was completely engrossed in my book. Suddenly, I would say about a couple of feet to my right, a champagne cork popped loud and clear and then I heard the champagne being poured into a glass! I saw nothing, yet heard it all, and the horror of it is that it took place right beside me.
Sincerely,
Helen H.
