A narrative dance choreographed by Joshua Monten and performed at the Stadttheater Heidelberg in 2003. Music by Chopin, movement from West Africa. Story: a younger hunter wanders through the woods, falls in love with a water nymph and pledges his eternal love. She disappears, and returns in an altered form to test his fidelity. He fails the test. The nymph conjures a deadly whirlpool and everyone dies.
