Lisa & Lena’s dance theater extravaganza is disgusting and impeccable.

On a dark smokey stage littered with fruit loops and rocks, two dancers whip their hair forward from a wide second position plie (legs wide, turned out, and bent), their hands smacking their thighs. The dancers are dressed like it’s the 70s and they’re going to the club: one in an orange halter jumpsuit with sparkly fringe, the other wearing tall silver heeled boots, purple booty shorts, and a fluorescent green shirt with flared sleeves.

Foursome Performance plumbs subterranean depths.

A dancer with short hair reaches their right arm forward, left arm back with their head bowed down. They stand with their left leg slightly turned out and bent, their right leg extended behind them.
