"Shiny Angles In Angular Time" Photo: Howard Silver Melinda Ring/ Renée Archibald
The Chocolate Factory
April 27 – May 5
In the final week of performances, Ring/Archibald Shiny Angles In Angular Time, “…redefine the black box theater as a kind of magic box – a site containing properties both real and imagined. In this collaborative work, Archibald’s performance points to the space itself — its presence and identity — rather than the other way around, amplifying its power and making visible the force of its emptiness. Shiny Angles In Angular Time constructs a “black box” of sorts within The Chocolate Factory’s white industrial space and proceeds to subvert its conventions, unfolding via a series of durational, live and videotaped actions, both virtuosic and fanciful,” according to the release.
