Notes: “House of Joy” is a pantomime set in a brothel in a sketchy neighborhood where ladies of the night secure their clients, one of whom is beaten up for not being able to pay. […] Mr. Taylor described House of Joy as a “small-scale dance,” adding: “I’ve never done such a pantomimic thing before. It’s mostly gesture. And there are really no dance steps in it.” – Gia Kourlas, The New York Times
