About
'The Bewitched' was Partch's first work solely intended for mime-dance. Drawing heavily from his deep affection for the music-theatrical performance traditions of Greek theatre, as well as those from Africa, Bali, and Chinese opera, Partch conceived of a contemporary American music ritual-theatre where musicians not only play but also function at times as movers-singers-actors. Such is the case of The Bewitched, where the instruments are the set, in front of (and around) which dancers 'dance', but where the onstage musicians also move and sing.<br><br>
