In Portrait of My Dead Brother, an imaginary portrait of the real brother who died a few months before Dali was born, the dots mutate into a bird emerging from his head and ranks of soldiers at his chin.

So is a dance, by Noriko Takahashi, as the daughter of the Counselor's chief archer, that expresses the purest love through the choreographer's art and the dancer's plangent grace. Behind the scenes, K is dizzyingly complicated, with a crew of 165, including technicians who operate...
