He sat in a chair and put his face in his hands. He adjusted her hair and decided he would make the coffin and bury her tomorrow. ![]() He was rather surprised at the way he fumbled in his grief. Though stunned by grief, Murlock knew enough to bury her. However, one day he returned to the cabin to find her wracked by a fever, and after three days, she died. Before this tragedy, Murlock was a strong young man who loved his wife deeply. One day Murlock died, and was buried near the cabin next to his wife, who died many years earlier. The narrator's grandfather told him about Murlock's tragic background. The man's name is Murlock, and he looks much older than his true age. This is certainly not because the resident of the house dislikes light, because he is often seen sunning himself in the front yard. The peculiar thing about this cabin is that it has a single window that has been boarded up. One of these men lives alone in a log cabin, subsisting on profits generated by the sale of animal pelts. This area is settled by the most rugged and restless souls, who totally reject all civilization. ![]() The story opens in the remote countryside near Cincinnati during the 19th century. ![]()

From the very first minutes of the performance, the artist’s conception of the scenography is clearly perceptible: in a space plunged into total obscurity, the dancers evolving on stage are equipped with luminous white dots placed over their joints, reminiscent of the white stripes that the doctor and physiologist Étienne-Jules Marey sewed onto black leotards, (they also moved against a black background) with the aim of analysing the structure of movement. ![]() |
