Romantic
love in the films of David Lynch is more than passion; as often as not,
it is a dangerously morbid obsession expressed in songs that thread
through the soundtracks like the tempting voices of sirens. The title
song of “Blue Velvet”; Roy Orbison’s “In Dreams,” from the same movie;
and Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game,” from “Wild at Heart,” are prime
examples of songs that dangle the keys to supernatural mysteries.
They
were given evocative platforms on Saturday evening in the theatrical
cabaret “Ghosts of Love: Songs From the Reel World of David Lynch,” now
at Stage 72 (formerly the Triad Theater), in which the singer and
actress Lauren Fox and her frequent collaborator, the bassist and singer Ritt Henn, play an archetypal Lynchian couple. The title is that of a terrifying song from Mr. Lynch’s “Inland Empire.”
