Dance preview: Attack Theatre prepares to tell moving tale in 'Soap Opera'

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: What if telling stories could postpone the inevitable? If by swapping tales, one could delay every sorrow, so-long or other heart-pinching pain life might bring?
Attack Theatre chases answers to these questions in its latest modern dance offering, "Soap Opera," which runs Friday and Saturday and Feb. 6-10 at the Pittsburgh Opera Building, 2425 Liberty Ave., Strip District.
The troupe was inspired to produce the piece by the legend of Scheherazade, in which a king ordered his former wives beheaded before moving on to the next one. One managed to stay alive by telling stories, always leaving out the next intriguing part until the coming day.
