This first-of-its-kind book brings together writing by artists and scholars to survey the lively field of Puerto Rican experimental dance across four decades. Originally published as Habitar lo Imposible, the translation in English features essays, artist statements, and interviews plus more than 100 photos of productions, programs, posters, and scores. Throughout, Inhabiting the Impossible provides fresh, invaluable perspectives on experimentation in dance as a sustained practice that has from the start deeply engaged issues of race, gender, sexuality, and politics. The book is also enhanced by a bibliographic section with detailed resources for further study.

"Craig begins by attributing the early introduction of the Recherche to the intimate friendship between Proust and the pianist-composer Reynaldo Halm, who was born in Caracas. He then shows in chapter 1 how literary critics of the principal newspapers and literary magazines of such countries as Venezuela, Argentina, and Chile examined this French text, which we know today as one of the fundamental works of modernism. Shortly thereafter interest in the Recherche spread to Cuba, Mexico, Uruguay, and Colombia. Eventually it would be read in all parts of the New World. Over the years Spanish Americans have continued to write about the Recherche and have published several noteworthy books on it, which are included in the comprehensive bibliography which serves as an appendix."--BOOK JACKET.

Partant d’une intuition personnelle, et cherchant toujours à faire dépasser la littérature du seul cadre des lettres, Proust a cultivé - dans sa vie et dans son œuvre - l’influence de Wagner. Un parallèle structural et stylistique, entre Proust et Wagner, montre le caractère pareillement cyclique de leurs œuvres, l’existence de types équivalents de leitmotivs, et les éléments spécifiques communs à ces deux formes d’art, apparemment si éloignées l’une de l’autre, le roman de Proust et l’opéra de Wagner.
