One dancer’s personal reckoning with injury becomes a metaphor for psychological confinement and emotional catharsis in “Vanishing Act.” Textured choreography, deft camera work, and the sounds of his body illuminate complex emotions as the dancer questions his identity and place in the world. Alternately shrouded in darkness and suspended in light, he moves between anxious desperation and languid surrender, with only himself to rely on for escape.
