 | | And while "genius" is a term over-applied to near-meaninglessness by every other movie blurb and Oprah book-club review, Muz' intricate weaving of gender and power, of tenderness and violence, of the relentless female-male dynamic layered over with humor by turns bawdy and wistful, comes perilously close to dismissing all lesser descriptions. |
 | | Muz's Moon is, at its core, about America's plundering, male-dominated culture of conquest and consumption, about a society's relentless need to commodify everything -- to pursue it, consume it, use it all up, then discard it. |
 | | Bonded by her sensuous, serpentine choreography, Muz and Co. fuse onstage with the elegant fluidity of a multi-limbed, nimble hermaphrodite. |
