| CHRISTIAN KOPFF is Associate Director, Honors Program, University of Colorado, Boulder, editor of a critical edition of Euripides' Bacchae and author of The Devil Knows Latin (1999). Long, swinging hair renders the women, who danced like a pack of sly schoolgirl Bacchae, virtually faceless. Tharp found the spark for ``Surfer at the River Styx'' from her rereading of Euripides' play ``The Bacchae,'' in which Pentheus, king of Thebes, after running afoul of the god Dionysus, ends up being torn limb from limb by the female devotees of the Bacchus. |
