...stock classical-ballet flourishes. This kind of parody is familiar, but Tharp wisely keeps it light and witty. The heart of the evening is a suite for the two stars set to Pergolesi -- dreamy, deeply musical, full of surprising yet harmonious moves. In a zippy finale, the stars cavort, and six fine young backup dancers finally get to strut some very flashy stuff...
Protests have been aimed specifically at some of Hollywood's biggest and most prestigious films, including The Silence of the Lambs, which features a crazed transvestite who kills and flays women, and JFK, which has a scene in which gays alleged to be conspirators in the Kennedy assassination cavort in sadomasochistic fun and games.

A strobe light gradually speeds up throughout the play. In the background plays what sounds like Satan's own version of the score from Flute, diced and spliced, with an electronic drum track. Every half-minute or so, the music becomes so loud that the actors stop talking and start dancing...
