Soul Leaves Her Body

Soul Leaver Her Body, is based on a Chinese legend of a woman whose soul leaves her body after a lover promises to return and doesn't. This production at the Here Theater--a combination of dance, image and acting--takes place in both ancient and contemporary times in the China of the Mongols and in Hong Kong..  Here is one of those black box theaters where you are extremely close to the performers.  The play, or piece--it's debatable that it's a play--is compelling without being terribly clear.  I have nothing profound to say about this--the images remian clear a week after seeing it, but the themes are totally muddy.
