Dr. Josef Klemperer

Susie Bannion
[When asked what dance feels like to her]
It felt like what I think it must feel like to fuck.
Madame Blanc
Do you mean fuck a man?
Susie Bannion
No. I was thinking of an animal.

Madame Blanc
When you dance the dance of another, you make yourself in the image of its creator. You empty yourself so that her work can live within you. Do you understand?
Susie Bannion
Yeah.
Madame Blanc
You're in a company now. You have to find your right place. You have to decide - what is it you want to be in this company? Is it the head? The spine? The sex? The heart?
Susie Bannion
The hands. I want to be this company's hands.

Dr. Josef Klemperer
[to Sara]
Patricia wrote about "Three Mothers" lost to time, predating all Christian invention. Pre-God, pre-devil. Mother Tenebrarum, Mother Lachrymarum and Mother Suspiriorum. Darkness, tears, and sighs.

What do you ask?

To die.

Mother... Mother, we're so tired.
Mother Suspiriorum
What do you ask?
Patricia
To die. I want to die.

Sweet girl, what do you ask?

Die.

Movement is never mute. It is a language. It's a series of energetic shapes written in the air like words forming sentences. Like poems. Like prayers.

Madame Blanc
Part of the issue always is not being able to see your body in space. One angle in one mirror or on film is not enough. Movement is never mute. It is a language. It's a shape of energetic shapes written in the air like words forming sentences. Like poems. Like prayers.
Susie Bannion
Spells?
Madame Blanc
When you jump, it's not the height, but the space beneath you that matters. Every leap into the air must be a coup de foudre.
Susie Bannion
I don't understand.
Madame Blanc
A strike of lightning. A bolt of love, in fact.
Susie Bannion
That's beautiful.
Madame Blanc
There are two things that dance can never be again: beautiful and cheerful. Today, we need to break the nose of every beautiful thing. And if you're going to be a dancer, you must learn French.

Sara
You're making some kind of deal with them.
Susie Bannion
I don't know what you're talking about.
Sara
The matrons.
Susie Bannion
Whatever you have in your head, Sara, nothing is wrong.
Sara
How can you know what they'll ask of you in return?
Susie Bannion
Nothing's wrong.
Sara
You just haven't seen the bill yet.

Miss Tanner
[about Patricia, in subtitled German]
She didn't want to be a vessel. We wanted to bring her into our power but she wanted to blow up department stores instead. What a fool, that girl.

At this point the jumps are opposing the pull of the structure, but... it's soon for that, don't you think? The floor work is keeping the other dancers pushed down, so this-
[moves herself about the floor]
Susie Bannion
-this could echo that... on a slightly higher point of elevation. If I stay close to the ground now, and go straight into the jumps where you have them later, then that's... more to the point. The resistance is more... emphatic. Right?
Madame Blanc
I don't know how aware you are of what times we lived through here 40 years ago, out of which this piece was made. We learned at great cost through those years the value of the balance of things. Every arrow that flies feels the pull of the earth, but we must aim upwards. We need to get you in the air.
