All the while, nine speakers ringing the auditorium sizzle, crackle and explode with electronic music; twelve slide projectors and 30 spots splash colors across the stage like an aurora borealis gone amuck. Nikolais, an ex-puppeteer who creates the music as well as the costumes and lighting for his dances, calls these trips into the twilight zones his "esthetic Rorschach."
