“Petronio’s take on human intimacy comes from the outside in. His dance is a technical blowout, an extravaganza of leaps, turns, extensions – the luxurious torso and arms of modern dance, the crackling footwork and openness of ballet, the strength, artifice and exactitude we expect in the classiest dance forms. His dancers don’t signal emotions, they perform with a passion for movement. They become metaphor in the process.”

Strange Attractors can be performed as a full evening length piece, or individual sections can be performed separately.
