Beats me what it is...
So wie Insekten, die immer und immer wieder auf eine Lichtquelle zufliegen, bis sie schließlich ermattet zu Boden sinken, überziehen die Tänzerinnen und Tänzer in sein Theater den hermetischen *Kastenraum* der Bühne mit dem gleichmäßigen Stakkato ihrer Körper.
Like insects, which time and again fly towards a source of light until they ultimately fall exhausted to the ground, the dancers in his theatre cover the hermetic *Kastenraum* of the stage with the steady staccato of their bodies.

I wouldn't attempt too literal a translation. "Kastenraum" here simply means the enclosed "box" of the stage, the confines of the theater.
