The title may sound like something from a Bond flick, but this is a collection of belly dances by Jawaahir Dance Company, a longtime exponent of Middle Eastern dance. Choreographer Cassandra Shore and her company move to rhythms from the 14th century and, in their articulated movements, tell ancient stories on the themes of history, pleasure and forgiveness. (10 p.m. Sat., 7 p.m. Wed., 1 p.m. next Sat. and 7 p.m. next Sun., Intermedia Arts, 2822 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls.)
