"Swell Henry"--Excerpt
"Swell Henry" is a tale of spiritual vertigo at one of the world's highest places. Astonishing imagery and spare physicality transform the proverbial "lonely man at the bar" into someone extraordinary.

Recorded May 31, 2008 by Valerie Greene at Dance New Amsterdam as part of
Uptown/Downtown.
