Presented as a double bill, these two dance performances explore similar themes, and are both intense yet markedly different. (Overseas) felt unsure and uncertain, and despite some pleasant and comfortable accompanying music, it was difficult, at least for me, to fully connect with the piece, let alone understand it. But this seems a deliberate strategy, even with lighting that seemed to intentionally obscure the performers at times.
