"A Selection" is a collaborative work of Maurice Sendak and Pilobolus. This is part 1 of 2. Performance starts at 0:40. "A Selection" is a dance that depicts the brutality of Hitler's Holocaust as it affected those, especially the children, who suffered at the hands of the Nazis. The title of the work comes from the process where camp arrivals are separated to work or to die - as shown in Part 2. Some are "selected" to work while others are stripped of everything they have and sent to the gas chambers. Part 1 is appropriate for all ages. Part 2 is not suitable for minors: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... View our playlist "A Selection - Pilobolus" at http://www.youtube.com/view_pl...

Pilobolus are incredible in all their performances, but this is so moving! Thank you!

See YT: "Pilobolus - Choreography of 'A Selection'" and "Pilobolus - Nudity Controversy" for more on their collaboration on this piece. I believe that it is his work, but is enacted by Pilobolus.

I'm a Sendak fan- What was his role in this? Looks amazing.

Oh, here is the dance itself - just found it after seeing your controversy excerpt. So moving. Thanks for it.
