Sly, subtle and totally virtuosic, theatrical dancer-choreographer Gabriel Mata holds the stage with expressive movement and witty words in this Fringe must-see. Mata's 50-minute solo show is about a performer in crisis — he plays a dancer who has forgotten the choreography. Mata, of Zenon Dance Company, then talks and dances us through his thought process as he tries to unlock his memory through movements. His dancing is graceful and compelling while his running monologue, both breathless and humble, also is entertaining. He even breaks into a performance of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive." Mata does a lot more than that. (8:30 p.m. Sun., 7 p.m. Mon., 8:30 p.m. Sat. Aug. 12, 2:30 p.m. Sun. Aug. 13, Intermedia Arts, 2822 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls.)
