Boris Charmatz is one of the French "non-dance" choreographers who are either accused of or celebrated for abandoning the ordering of movement in favor of conceptual explorations.  (As if you couldn't guess, I'm solidly in the "celebrating" camp.)  Here, Charmatz have has his dancers engage in thousands of disconnected gestures, none of them to be repeated.  It's all set to Mozart's Requiem -- which I guess is a suggestion what this all ultimately leads to.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  My suspicion is that drinks will be called for after this.  Good thing we're right near New York's best new cocktail bar, Existing Conditions.  Good food, too.
