DIRECTOR DAVID WINGROVE fails to take advantage of a number of opportunities, in campus tradition, to build on past productions of what is already a widely performed play. The Dunster JCR is well suited to intimate theatre-in-the-round, but Wingrove relies on a clumsy slide projection system to suggest locales and environment...

...Hudson and the Atlantic Ocean. A large trimaran, the Tournamente of Toronto, its mast removed and lashed to the deck, chugs by under power, its crew bundled against the autumn chill and waving as much to keep warm as to greet the Peckinpaugh and its crew. Other pleasure craft slide by as the morning wears on. Their destinations: Florida, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands...

...Amagatsu and his four dancers coil and slide, curl and waddle, spring and go still, they seem to shape themselves into grooves. Their bodies, whitened with traditional Kabuki makeup, can go as stiff as steel beams being hoisted skyward on a cable, as supple and serpentine as a garden stream. When Amagatsu moves diagonally across a stage past two huge brass circles in Jomon Sho, the movement is a piece of modest majesty that sets down a single, perfect line in Sankai Juku's geometry of mystery...
