"Revelry abounds in the piece named for the Roman god of boozing. The costumes of merlot-colored velvet by Mark Zappone, with sharp strips cut from torsos and fabric dangling freely at the waist, blur gender lines. As do the dancers, pairing off with one another freely and flirtatiously to the lively strings of Oliver Davis’s music. Its seven parts breeze by, a lovingly composed little morsel containing many of the flavors and emotional beats of a story ballet."
