Dancers hurtle across the stage like so many celestial bodies orbiting and eclipsing each other.

"Full of utterly brilliant and seemingly disconnected shards of choreography.  A full-throttle exercise in physicality, loose-limbed and speedy… It simply continues to increase its velocity, its sense of elfin delight, as the dance goes by. Leaves the audience gasping for more.” – Barry Johnson, The Oregonian
