“Stations.” Pacific Arts. $39.95. Nameless dread and the disintegration of the familiar dominate this hourlong, 1982 cycle of dreamlike, quasi-narrative vignettes (each 5 minutes or less), created for television by new-performance wizard Robert Wilson. To a resourceful piano score by Nicolas Economou, a boy and his middle-class parents look out from the kitchen at a radically transformed landscape, and then endure the ravages of fire, water, wind, dust, serpentine metal coils and flaming hail--plus bizarre distortions of time, scale and identity. Video movement-theater of notable atmosphere, intimacy and elegance. Information: (213) 657-2233. ***
