Strains of world music, including pieces by the Throat Singers of Tuva and the Baka Forest People, overlie the piece. The few sequences where the dancers physically support each other in dramatic jumps and backward leaps are satisfying because they are unusual and not overused. Versus is a curving performance that suggests helical patterns present in plants and oceans. The piece is choreographed to washes of ambient sound with the dancers starting in a slow-motion triangle that draws them in and releases them in sequences of ebbs and flows. The dancers weave together and intertwine, collapsing on each other in backward leaps and lifting each other in graceful successions of movement.
Spins stop short in abrupt poses, building momentum for the next revolution.
