Getting the Frisbee to the end zone is what stirs the bedlam. The plastic disk can be moved only in the air, and whoever catches it is allowed only three "momentum" steps before passing it on. The offense keeps moving only as long as it controls the Frisbee; when passes are blocked, intercepted, dropped or go out of bounds, the Frisbee is turned over to the other team.

The music is eerie and electronic, reminiscent of something from the Outer Limits. As the curtain rises, one dancer lies lifeless on a rotating disk. Suddenly, a man wearing a shower cap drops from an elevated box. As the scene develops, several dancers interlock their bodies to form an assortment of odd-shaped machines. Arms, fingers, and legs move in an ingenious staccato fashion to simulate gears and cogs. While these fanciful contraptions pump, point...
