The supporting dancers each bring their own identity and special beauty to Suhaila’s choreography, treating each arm wave and hip articulation like a lover, and Suhaila’s own dancing is nothing short of sublime.
“If you want to survive, talk.” Outside of the gender politics of “Sheherazade,” the show is a masterful work of unrestrained brilliance.
