Director/choreographer Jennifer Li spins her theatrical yarn with a seamlessly integrated movement style and an ensemble of offbeat collaborators. For dirty mean tricks, she's working in tandem with featured dancers Hassan Christopher and Marissa Labog, whose other ongoing projects (including the Company of Strangers) have helped them gain a masterfully nuanced partnering sensibility. Live musical accompaniment by Velvet Monkey, blending European folk and traditional jazz with current pop, and puppets by Michelle Zamora provide a perfect match for Li's dark and tragicomic tale.
