“…Fluidly blends the real and virtual worlds into an eye-popping experience that is imaginative and clever yet very funny and occasionally quite touching…. By the end, a whole cast of virtual alter egos has emerged for a jazzy romp with the dancers that is flat-out exhilarating.”
—Karen Campbell, Boston Globe
Exploding the partner form into a magically populated stage where
image and reality collide, Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer's highly
visceral choreography plays out in sensuous, intensely physical
partnering and surprising shifts of scale. The dancers interact with their life-size video images and use their bodies
and costumes as projection screens, exploring identity and revealing
multiple layers of consciousness in a sumptuous visual feast.
Joining Bridgman / Packer are Robert Een (voice and cello),
Glen Velez (percussion), and Ken Field (saxophone),
performing original music.
