New York Times: From Mark Morris, a Tale of Love Refracted and Multiplied

Shantel Prado
October 2, 2016

Mr. Morris does not so much tell the Layla-Majnun story as refract it, ritualize it, multiply it. The emphasis is all on emotion. The staging... is visually beautiful... Mr. Morris’s choreography deconstructs and distills the poetic legend with charm and taste.
