The dancing and aerial work in this production are excellent. The story is disturbing, but it is a terrific bit of choreography and performance.
There is some beautiful dancing here. I especially enjoyed the aerial acrobatics, which were skillfully performed. I have two caveats: (1) The story line was not clear–maybe some captions would have helped. (2) I would have liked to see more close-ups. It appears that the entire performance was filmed by a stationary camera.
