In Heiner Müller’s Quartett, based on the novel Les Liaisons dangereuses, the incomparable French actress Isabelle Huppert (I ♥ Huckabees, 8 Women, The Piano Teacher) is the toxic Marquise de Merteuil, seething with fury opposite her perverse partner in crime Valmont, played with marvelous physicality by Ariel Garcia Valdès. As director Robert Wilson unfurls his stylized choreography and tableaux motifs with stark sounds and saturated colors, he transforms every calculated movement into gorgeous and provocative studies of character.
