The other dancers are excellent; costumes are varied and unsensationally handsome; the live music, stronger on percussion and with fewer high strings than some tango bands, is good (though the musical preludes in the second half are tedious).
As Ms. Sciulli and the architects reviewed the handsome work, improvised music materialized, starting in the courtyard and finding its way around the bathhouse and down the hall to the bedroom, like children chasing each other: brightly colored notes of regret, intrigue, deceit, relief and the expiring reprise of fate, like scenes from the movies.
