...And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden. The Lord God commanded, "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of knowledge of good and of evil thou shalt not eat. For in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Now the Serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, "Ye surely shall NOT die. God doth know that in the day ye eat from the tree of knowledge, then shall your eyes be opened."

I developed the dance "Knowledge of Good and Evil" between 2009 and 2011. This clip is from its first performance: a contribution to the "Objects of Desire" showcase, presented by Venus Uprising at the Merce Cunningham Theater in New York City in April 2011. The music is "Ketto" by Bonobo, from the album Days to Come. The Serpent was danced by Amador S. Juarez.
