Part expression and part political observation, Tere O'Connor's Cover Boy explores the closeted gay experience and universal feelings of "otherness." With choreography that ranges from tender interplay to aggression, four male dancers eloquently portray isolation and connection. Original music by electro-acoustic composer James Baker and an expansive wing-like set design add to the metaphor of the experience, which critic Deborah Jowitt calls a "moving, beautifully imagined and performed work."
