Robinson ’08), Orlosky’s choreographed belly-dances made for a production that sometimes came off as excessively luxurious. Despite Okocha’s terrific performance, it was impossible to ignore the fact that Shahrazad is less a character than an embodiment—there were innumerable references to her “beautiful body”—of a set of existential...
