The work excavates the thin line between ecstasy and annihilation and eerie similarities between experiences of sex and death. Six dancers are presented against murky and austere scenery of Nick Vaughan’s minimal set, Tal Yarden’s ghastly video projections and Pavel Zuštiak’s unsettling minimal sound design. In a series of dense, fast-paced scenes performers embrace each other and collide in encounters that are in equal measures full of irony and seriousness, tenderness and violence. Against the aural backdrop ranging from total silence to the clamor of Shostakovitch’s famous Jazz Suite waltz, Zuštiak’s choreography has his dancers enact scenes of recurring death and revival, fall in each other’s arms to be caressed or abused, glorified or ridiculed. Joe Levasseur’s intriguing light obscures and exposes the figures, and transform the scene from intimate and half-hidden to glaringly and self-consciously theatrical.
