"[a].. transporting sequence of tasks for nine women...these performers are beauties, and powerful...these nine beguiling Pied Pipers, with their red, red lips, could lead an audience astray ."
- The New York Times

"[An] exploration of how women are encouraged to pursue the expectation of physical and aesthetic perfection. ..Kravas runs her company through the gantlet, forcing the dancers through a series of ever more ridiculous-and even dehumanizing-processes of synchronization in pursuit of an ideal, while letting bits of personality and individuality bleed through the cracks."
-Culturebot

"A spectacle in which [the audience] is as much titillated as accused, seduced as viscerally assaulted."
- The Brooklyn Rail

Heather Kravas returns to the downstairs space at 150 1st Avenue and upends the effortful, immodest, non-sequential physicality of nine women and the practice of perfection. Through repetition and the endless rhythmic possibilities of classical and anti-classical movement, text, and atmospheric sound, individuality emanates from the cracks of a stoic mass as the facade of idealised beauty is broken.

Please note this performance contains nudity.
