Luke Jennings, writing for The Guardian, said The Symptoms' "gothic danse-noir" piece Nothing There shows "Vignettes of pain, fear and sadness swim dreamily against a lighting track of eye-popping strangeness."
"Performed to thudding jazz, the piece plays out a waking dream shot through with bizarre terrors. Half-glimpsed tableaux reminiscent of David Lynch's film Eraserhead morph into surreal ballroom sequences in swimsuits and spats that pay homage to Pina Bausch," Jennings said.
The Symptoms performed Nothing There or Do Dreams Go to Sleep During the Day? at The Place, a centre for contemporary dance in London, on June 2 and 3.
