Putting the ‘edge’ in the proverbial ledge, Scorpius Dance Theatre doesn’t need any talking down. In fact, they are quite comfortable there, artistically speaking, as they bring yet another innovative dance production to the Valley with “An Unusual Love Story” David+Lisa, May 15 through 25, 2008, at the Phoenix Theatre’s Little Theatre.

“An Unusual Love Story” David+Lisa is an intense fairy-tale-of-sorts that tells the story of two people who meet in a mental institution. After a series of events an unlikely attachment is developed between the two volatile individuals. The true lives of David and Lisa have also been the subject of a fact-based psychoanalytic story, a stage play, and a 1960s film. Scorpius is the first to abstract their lives into the realm of contemporary dance.

This production promises to be as enlightening as it is entertaining complete with original music by Kris Hill and Ryan Breen, Original choreography by Lisa Starry, and the exclusive physical narrative of this peculiar love story…a story that suits the company’s idiosyncratic brand of performance very well.
