“Construct” at the Playhouse. Fantastic contemporary dance. Last night Friday.
If you see one night of contemporary dance this year, this is the one. And if you’ve never been — or have been and got scared off — this is the one to change you mind. Absolutely stunning. And great soundtrack by DJ Tr¡p.
