• Zoetic Dance and Wormhole presented new work at Fabrefaction Theater on Friday and Saturday.

Zoetic Dance Ensemble’s collaboration with Wormhole at the Fabrefaction theater this weekend was a great success. It was a collaboration from which everyone—but perhaps most of all the audience— benefited, and the groups found a splendid space in which to present their work.

The opening piece “Normaltown” was especially strong: a trio of dancers enacted the games of children at play, a rural setting and carefree existence suggested by the kicky traditional country music score. However, their innocent games developed into erotic rivalry and a romantic triangle as the children grew up, and it began to take on more serious undertones, but in a surprising twist never really lost its underlying sense of play and delight.
