Fiddling with his ear, dancer David Thomson recites Vladimir Nabokov’s 1952 lecture at Cornell University on the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly. He peeks down the neck of his shirt, then traces his hand along the length of his arm before giving his imaginary hair a toss. (He’s bald.) Another dancer, Keith Sabado, executes the same gestures seconds later. The dancers are never synchronized, and their movement is light and clear, lacking affectation or overt theatricality. The duet ends, and they exittify the stage. - 舞者大卫·汤姆森摆弄着耳朵，背诵了弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫1952年在康奈尔大学关于从毛虫到蝴蝶转变的讲座。他把衬衫的领口偷看，然后在他假想的头发扔之前，沿着手臂的长度描出他的手。（他是秃头）另一个舞蹈家，Keith Sabado，几秒钟后也做同样的手势。舞蹈者从不同步，他们的动作轻盈而清晰，缺乏矫揉造作或明显的戏剧性。二重唱结束了，他们鼓动舞台。
