This sounds interesting:
In the company’s 25th anniversary season, social commentary takes an intimate turn with A Quarreling Pair, based on the Jane Bowles puppet play about two elderly sisters, one of whom wants to leave the nest. It’s her strange journey, as re-imagined by Jones, that unleashes pure and gorgeous dancing punctuated by a scheming vaudevillian, a nasty cross-dresser, a bawdy emcee, and many others. Beautifully designed (by Bjorn Amelan) and magical, A Quarreling Pair plays with notions of family, self-realization, and courage, taking us on a time-bending voyage.

Re: A Quarreling Pair: was at BAM on tues and was much moved. i’m not sure the string idea worked nor felt the dance was up to the power of the conception. there was a pina bausch quality about it. the anguish of the separating sisters was felt. the humor was marvelous and the music, both the dylan piece – powerful and the original music plus the emcee was fabulous. a wonderful beginning of the season!
