In a look back at the work’s West Coast premiere at UCLA in February, Forbes contributor Tom Teicholz writes, “At the time I saw the performance, I had no idea it would resonate with greater relevance during the current crisis. Now, I can’t stop thinking about it.” Adapted from the poems of T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets is a meditation on time and the search for the divine. “Eliot’s words inspire stillness and thought—which is a hard concept to choreograph,” writes Teicholz. “Yet Tanowitz has delivered a work that stands out as a peerless modern work for the ages.”
