Principal Dancer Elsie Shi Communicates Truth Through Art

‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’: The Postmodern Struggle for the Mythic
The legions of keyboard warriors and hardcore comic-book fanboys finally have their victory over the Hollywood horde of mass-entertainment executives. “The Synder cut” has been released. Justice prevails. The world can now stream “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” a superhero film unlike any other in its shameless length and sheer spectacle that packs, perhaps, the biggest…
