| | Suicidal Tendencies |
 | | Still, beneath the blissful glow of globalization, a culture rife with suicide, school shootings, and hatred festers to say nothing of the young warriors and insurgents initiated since 9/11. |
 | | Rachid Ouramdane embodies these ideas quite literally in Discreet Deaths, a solo that reflects on the imagery of teen suicide, the death penalty, Goth culture, suicide bombers, prescription drugs, and pop music. |
 | | On stage, in a kind of boxing ring fashioned from three, flat-screen video panels connected by transparent tubes coursing with red and blue liquids, Ouramdane portrays desperate and self-destructive identities with disaffected truth, sometimes in bare feet, jeans, and white t-shirt; other times in a motorcycle jacket or mask. |
