A longtime Fringe favorite as a solo performer, Tamara Ober does a splendid job stepping into a new role — choreographer. The show, created with the dancers, offers a dense exploration of survival and human connection in a violent world. As bodies intertwine, manipulate each other and alternate between crashing and embracing, Ober's choreography soars, along with D.J. Mendel's entrancing video design. (10 p.m. Mon., 7 p.m. Tue., 8:30 p.m. Wed., 5:30 p.m. Sat., Intermedia Arts, 2822 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls.)
