In the spirit of vintage Variety performance, this trio riffs on the exuberant antics of acrobats and contortionists captured in early motion pictures. The dancers get set into gear with a series of high kicks and throughout the piece keep landing in splits. This epilogue to Sperling’s “Inexpensive Trilogy” (Cheap, 1999; Cheaper, 2003; Cheapest, 2005) is sure to amuse young and old. (16 minutes)

“ [The dancers] wrap themselves around one another, forming bouquets of legs, solving challenges in three-dimensional design – geometry problems come to life.” —Elizabeth Zimmer, Gay City News
