Seeing the Forest Through the Dreamscape.

A woman (Elizabeth DeMent) explodes onto the stage and across it. She punctuates this entry with three identical but peculiar jumps, each one ending pow! with one leg extended sideways and the torso lurching the opposite way. The combination of precision and looseness is arresting. Furious, wild and absolutely focused, the whole body is making a potent gesture. You immediately follow it as both psychological revelation and wildlife documentary. The larger stage world encourages both interpretations. Strips of white linen hang at different angles. They might be a forest, but soon colored video images are projected onto them, and we might be inside someone's memory. The sound score, projected from multiple sources, often features words, like numbers counted aloud. Is this a mindscape? Or are we in some larger environment? [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
