Choreographer Tra Mi Dinh’s latest work begins with two dancers stepping out of billowing clouds of smoke, creating an otherworldly, dreamlike opening. The staging and imagery set a tone that the three outlets describe as strange and atmospheric from the outset.
Across the coverage, the central shared focus is the show’s opening visual sequence: dancers appearing from within the smoke. While the excerpts provided do not detail plot, themes beyond the dreamlike quality, or specific performances and production elements later in the work, all three outlets frame the piece as living up to its “otherworldly” description through that initial image.
