Graham is perhaps the ultimate surrealist choreographer in that her work was ridden with shocking, sexual, and even violent undertones, themes that were popular amongst surrealist artists such as Salvador Dalí and René Magritte.

But Show Boat opened in 1927 and this one in 1944. It was a musical titled Sing Out Sweet Land. What?
