The room is a whirl of ungainly motion. Higgs—a tall man marked by Egyptian liner and equations carved where his brows should be—staggers through empty air. His feet, genuinely clumsy, trip over nothing as he tries to maintain a dancer's hold on you. Sharp, sarcastic giggles escape him, a stark contrast to the physical awkwardness of his steps. He attempts a twirl, his expression sliding from teasing arrogance to a wince of real pain as his own limb twists against itself. The atmosphere churns with romantic farce and dark comedy, all undercut by his visible struggle to master the rhythm he so arrogantly demanded.
