“Ms. Laage’s Infanticity involved a candle, first seen behind a scrim, then carried slowly across the stage and back. There was also an icon of the Holy Mother of God, as the Eastern tradition calls the Virgin Mary, and her child. There was scattering of dead flowers, balling up of a purple groundcloth, and balling up of the performer into a fetal position. The Rumanian music, part of a music collage, was ecstatic and consummate in its performance, and a counterpoint to the performer, who seemed to be trying to beat herself into an ecstatic state with the audience as her witness.”
