The Madame Minchenko Memorial Auditorium was a null-gee ballet located on Graf Station in Quaddiespace, and the pride of the quaddies. The entrance was not particularly impressive, which served at least partly to make the actual chamber that much more impressive on first sight. Patrons' hexagonal boxes were lined with handgrips and sound-baffling padding, and had individual lighting. Performances were extraordinary experiences, combining music, dance, and acrobatics, generally done simultaneously (because the performers had arms to spare to play drums and castanets while dancing).
