Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Pavel Zuštiak

I find myself once again in the lovely Playhouse at the Abrons Arts Center, which on this occasion hosts the world première of the new piece by Palissimo – the intrepidly inventive troupe helmed by the choreographer Pavel Zuštiak.

Having reviewed Pavel Zustiak’s Amidst, part two (of three) of his Painted Bird opus earlier this year, I was intrigued to take in the bigger picture by witnessing the entire trilogy on the occasion of its New York première at La MaMa.

From its very opening moments, Amidst, a production of Pavel Zustiak’s company Palissimo presented as part of Performance Space 122’s COIL 2013 festival, packs a powerfully evocative punch.
