There’s a kind of ‘love it or hate it’ quality to this compelling work from Scottish Dance Theatre, but if you love it, you’ll really love it. Israeli choreographers Eyal and Behar are behind it, grabbing you with an electronic soundtrack and dark, shadowy atmosphere. ZOO Southside, 22–26 Aug, 7pm, £12 (£10).
