It's so incredible, because Jacobson is isolated within an insolated Soviet system and his choreographic vocabulary spans the same ideas that Balanchine, Robbins, and Graham were working for in the west. And I can't watch anyone else doing this after Zubkovskaya. No one goes that far emotionally anymore. It would be considered too much, but it has to be like that.
