Julia Rhoads — Chicago's eight-year queen of clean, fluid choreography with surreal and comic touches — dives headfirst into uncharted waters with a new work combining movement, video, and text. Cinderbox 18 loosely appropriates reality-programming tropes, but with the usual suspects (audience voting, outré judges, mannequin host) boiled off. Forced plotlines are distilled into mysteriously charged chitchat. What remains feels like an observation tank for a recently discovered tribe, in which the difference between cooperation and competition is difficult, if not impossible, to discern.
