Motus (“Alexis: A Greek Tragedy,” “MDLSX”) specializes in what might be called enlightening confusion, blurring our perceptions to improve our vision. “Panorama,” which is performed mostly in English, is unusually accessible by Motus standards. And “Panorama” turns into one big, double-sided looking glass that keeps reflecting them (on the stage) and us (in the audience), until the mirror cracks. In fact, just explaining what their names are — and whether they are given names or nicknames or stage names or assimilationist variations on what they were christened — occupy a fair amount of time. A strip tease in “Panorama” inevitably involves taking off a whole lot of layers.
