		As Arlequino and Brighella’s journeys merge on the carpet, mimed escapes, colluding dances, projected translations, images of commercial well-being and human suffering are interspersed with South American protest songs and rhythms, laments of devalued love, poetry and the time defying sounds of the harpsichord.
