Abstract
"A dissatisfied dreamer awakes, goes out in the night seeking a light, and is drawn through the needle's eye. He returns to a bed less empty than before." (Fireworks).
"A fable of the Unattainable (the Moon) combining elements of Commedia dell'Arte with Japanese myth. A lunar dream utilizing the classic pantomime figure of Perrot in an encounter with a prankish, enchanted Magick Lantern." (Rabbit's Moon).
"Hide and Seek in a night-time labyrinth of levels, cascades, balustrades, grottoes, and ever-gushing leaping fountains, until the water witch and the fountain become one." (Eaux d'artifice).
