—Quinn Batson, Offoffoff.com“Beauty and the Brut is a…production of tension and sensuality that takes us down a meandering storyline that… ends ambiguously and fully aroused…This is just an amazing piece, ripe and full.”

- Premiere: Joyce Theater, New York City
- Duration: 24 minutes
- Performers: 8
—Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice“Lareigne stays almost numbingly at a boil, rarely dropping to a simmer, except for moments when individuals solo through a grove of motionless others as if this were a fevered chess game…God, the beauty of the dancers, the ease of their intensity!”
—Susan Reiter , NewsdayFull reviews of Lareigne (1995)“…a heroically beautiful figure, seeming to float through fierce bursts of swirling, dynamic movement. Seven others join in, shot forth so deftly that at times they seem like dozens, their lashing limbs and unfurling torsos expressing infinite possibilities. The beauty of their shapes and the wafting white fabric of the sexy costumes (designed by Manolo) evoke a serene, but perhaps deceptive, coolness.”
