The continuity is imagistic and the development Л Football in America ranks ahead \S§âÊsêSfe *v о/ rock and roll as the most comprehensive national myth. Where boxing represents ’individual’ power, football rep resents ’team’ power, i.e. the national consciousness as a ’winning team’. The imagery of » The Saint and The Football Players « demonstrates the aesthetic of aggression. Much of the piece is performed, virtually, at the level of full game contact. Each move is taken literally from football but abstracted and choreographed to resemble, at times, conceptual sculpture, at times, warfare, at times, group group meditation. The Saint stands for the transcendental romanticism at the core of full contact sports where winning is considered a state of grace.
