In "RATS", seven young urban dancers face off with dancing drones. And in the middle of it all, there is a contemporary dancer. She beguiles the dancers and the drones alike - much like the Pied Piper with rats - into joining her world and taking up the language of her movements. They circle one another, observe, mimic and challenge each other. They each attempt to assert their identities and claim the stage for themselves. Even the drones seem to have their own personalities and invite us to a toy universe that at times seems just as threatening as it does harmless.
