Writer-director Gia Battista's imaginative, hour-long “movement piece,” workshopped last month at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, draws on a text by a (female) medieval poet. Three silent women—active, but not precisely “dancers”—take center stage, enhanced by shadow puppets, computer-looped layered vocals and moody lighting, with verse by William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot and others in the mix. F & Sa 8pm; Su 6:30pm. Through 4/14. $12-$15. Davis Shakespeare Ensemble, at Pamela Trokanski Dance Workshop and Performing Arts Center, 2720 Del Rio Pl. in Davis; (530) 802-0998; www.shakespearedavis.com.
