"Alignigung 2" features a choreography in which dancers Riley Watts and Rauf Yasit (aka "Rubber Legz") cross their bodies in a constellation of knots. An object is offered that subtracts common elements typically associated with choreography: the structural development of time and space and the visual isolation of some parts. The entwining of the two bodies forms what Forsythe likes to call "optical puzzles," for this complex intertwining creates optical puzzles that often defy the apparent logic of the situation. "Alignigung 2" is a hybrid of choreography, film and sculpture, and features the musical collaboration of Ryoji Ikeda.
