"A duet from the 1976 Cleopatra by Murray Louis is silky, sensuous and New Agey in that ‘70s kind of way. The choreography puts features of modern dance and ballet into a blender and cheerfully whirs away then adds chunks of angular, faux-2D movement imagery out of Ancient Egyptian art. The result is something lightheartedly sexy, sweet, pretty and witty but not without substance, thanks to the clarity of Kyla Barkin as Cleopatra and Aaron Selissen as Marc Anthony."
