Abstract

Have you ever wanted to wrap yourself up in paper and call it a night? In ''Fold,'' Neta Pulvermacher, an Israeli-born choreographer with a wild imagination, did just that on Thursday evening at Danspace Project. More precisely, her dancers wrapped, and she spoke and sang. The new dance takes inspiration from a line by the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze: ''We define the abstract machine as the aspect or moment at which nothing but function and matter remains.'' In this chaotic work, which Ms. Pulvermacher dedicates to her son, rolls of white paper and origami shapes that dancers fly like kites dominate the landscape. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
