Amanda Loulaki flirts with fragmented time, imagery, empty space, non-linear narrative and the extremities of a movement’s physicality. On Wednesday, the Crete-born choreographer kicks off a four-night run of her newest show, FORESTED, at the Chocolate Factory Theater in Long Island City. Loulaki, a 1994 Fulbright Scholarship winner, will present a series of vignettes that present the body as a container of history… and the performance space as a container of the body. A premiere, FORESTED is the second piece of a trilogy that explores how an audience’s gaze can be directed in performance, and how that gaze affects the experience of time.

Details: FORESTED, The Chocolate Factory Theater, 5-49 49th Avenue, Long Island City, April 9 through April 12th, nightly at 8 pm, $15.
