Eerie,
abandoned-warehouse sounds help create a bleak scenario. At one
point, three dancers cluster with their limbs moving like Medusa's
hair, while one dancer executes a perfect yogic headstand in front
of them, reciting portents of destruction. At times the choreography
looks crowded, but Meyer and Chaffaud otherwise paint stage pictures
with clarity and dramatic tension.
