Original Toronto Star caption: New to the repertoire of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens; John Butler's Trip was performed at the company's opening in the O'Keefe Centre last night. The dance takes us into the mind of contemporary man in his mechanized and dehumanized state; says Star dance critic William Littler. Les Grands Ballet Canadiens' venerable party piece; Carmina Burana; was the major work on the program last night.
