Downtown's up-and-coming Orange Theatre Group is bringing back the kind of obtusely symbolic, performance-arty happening that makes people riot in the streets.

Their PHX:fringe performance in March featured a toilet, cheesy Europop, a naked Barbie buried in potting soil, and a bunch of cameras, microphones, and projectors.

This month, the hubbub will center on Desiring Flight, a multimedia play with songs by Theatre in My Basement's Chris Danowski. It's about love and loss -- maybe some other people's, maybe yours.
