Review: Dance Duo's Eccentric Performance "Deepe Darknesse" Lisa Fagan and Lena Engelstein's unconventional dance-theater piece "Deepe Darknesse" draws inspiration from the unpredictability of an ancient Roman novel, "The Golden Ass." The performance, part of the New York Live Arts Live Artery festival, takes place in a raw West Village space, adding to the sense of unpredictability and danger. The duo's erratic movements, interrupted by periodic blackouts, are accompanied by a straight-faced stagehand and references to the novel. The show's randomness, though carefully crafted, feels spontaneous, with small actions serving as punchlines. Fagan and Engelstein's commitment to their comedic roles and the tension they create help the performance find its own peculiar logic. The show's unpredictability keeps the audience engaged, making it an intriguing and entertaining experience.
