Photograph of Pearl Lang and the Martha Graham Dance Company in a 1977 performance of Primitive Mysteries (1931) at the Lunt-Fontaine Theater in New York City. This revival of Primitive Mysteries was made possible through a generous gift by the iconic Halston whom collaborated on a decade of costumes with Martha Graham.
