On Friday, November 19, it became the stage for a first-of-its-kind performance by the Dartmouth Dance Ensemble. The group performed a piece titled “Revealing the Human Body,” which was inspired by Andreas Vesalius’s De humani corporis fabrica, a book of anatomical illustrations of the dissected human body published circa 1543. The piece was performed inside the three levels of the “glass box,” a protected environment which houses the library’s most precious collections. The performance marks the first time Rauner’s unique architecture has been used for such an event, and audience members were not disappointed.
