Cellist Patrick Belaga lend scores of “severance” to the choreographies of performers Josh Johnson and Hardcore Tina wherein Eurydice is consigned permanently to the realm of the immaterial because Orpheus, the archetypal artist, cannot turn away from her. In this performance by artist Kandis Williams, movement and score create immediate euphoric experiences of dissociation while also conjuring the ceremoniousness that befits the ancient myth.
