Ekman’s Cacti<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Intense, fun, captivating, irreverent. Made fun of itself, and of ballet critique, through a voice track that at times described what was going on and at times asked, in an anguished voice, “What does it mean?” Never a dull moment.<\/p>\n

Memorable scene: a man, with his upper body bare, standing and posing in harsh side light. As the light switched from a source on the left to one on the right, everything changed, even though nothing did.

Hj\u00e1lmarsd\u00f3ttir’s Riptide<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Never really connected to this one. Already two weeks later I’ve mostly forgotten what it was like.<\/p>\n

Naharin’s Minus 16<\/i>. Same experience as last time: the initial Echad mi yodeah<\/i> chair dance was powerful and unique (although a bit less so this time around because I knew what was happening) but the rest felt kind of pointless.
