Graeme Murphy's exquisite work The Protecting Veil is
performed to the haunting music of celebrated English composer John
Tavener. The poetic aesthetic of the work is flawlessly matched by
the work of award-winning Sydney-based lighting designer John
Rayment.
The dance movements, predominantly from upstage to downstage,
are cut by a lone dancer who enters consistently from the
opposite-prompt side of stage in a series of incomplete crossovers
- "a soul swimming at cross currents in a sea of inexplicable
emotions".
