 We've called the result an unlikely mix of organic movement and architecture, compared its structure to a culture—either of cells or people—developing and behaving according to pristine, if enigmatic, rules and principles. Four years after its debut, a chance to see it live remains one of the "don't miss" moments this summer. We've called the result an unlikely mix of organic movement and architecture, compared its structure to a culture—either of cells or people—developing and behaving according to pristine, if enigmatic, rules and principles.

 Though Kevental is said to contrast between the mechanics and the sensuality of the body, the dancers' olive-drab trenchcoats and brusque manner suggest a surreptitious, paramilitary note from the start. Hasty maps and plans, chalked out under searchlights, suggest a resistance in a country under siege. When specific body parts are slowly, carefully manipulated under spotlight—in an otherwise darkened room—the procedures too easily recall those performed on the desaparacidos, and others in places besides Abu Ghraib. But exactly how does this company cross the language gap? And can it maintain such a level of intensity for the entire work? Though Kevental is said to contrast between the mechanics and the sensuality of the body, the dancers' olive-drab trenchcoats and brusque manner suggest a surreptitious, paramilitary note from the start.

 In the second, separately ticketed concert, Mercado plays in the digital sandbox in Plano Difuso (Diffuse Plane), amusing himself and us as he explores the relationship between performer and digitized setting—sometimes not dissimilarly to Amy Yoes and Mark Haim's technochoreographic fusion last summer, Guide to Southern Trees. After that, Grupo Krapp's Luciana Acuña restages Susana Tambutti's The Stab. This campy, comic burlesque of gender roles on film recalls the Patti Smith quote "Every woman/ is evasive"—that is, when it isn't apparently taking notes from a lower-brow ditty by Robyn Hitchcock. The Stab's manic physical energy, penchant for quick-change and mileage on props alone recalls—of all things—Jim Carrey in The Mask. In the second, separately ticketed concert, Mercado plays in the digital sandbox in Plano Difuso (Diffuse Plane), amusing himself and us as he explores the relationship between performer and digitized setting—sometimes not dissimilarly to Amy Yoes and Mark Haim's technochoreographic fusion last summer, Guide to Southern Trees.
