In Holy Trinity Church School's massive basement, rendered whimsically creepy by cheap Christmas lights, tangled tree branches, utilitarian scaffolding, and immense translucent plastic curtains, veteran Chicago director Dado turns David Lang's Pulitzer-winning choral work—based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Match Girl"—into an ethereal, decentered performance installation for Facility Theatre. For 40 tantalizing, indecipherable minutes, about a dozen silent performers engage in repetitive, enigmatic actions, both concrete and abstract, while eight vocalists sing about an abused, Christ-like beggar girl who freezes to death on New Year's Eve.
