Beth Gill
The Chocolate Factory

May 18 – 28
Gill, with long-time design collaborators, Thomas Dunn and Jon Moniaci, “…returns to the Chocolate Factory for a new site-specific performance inspired by the imagination and subconscious inhabiting a dreamlike, sensory-rich world that draws the audience into an immersive act of witnessing. Gill creates an intimate, surrealist space building on the formalism of her past several works (Electric Midwife, New Work for the Desert), while forging new psychologically driven terrain through explorations of role, the gathering and layering of meaning and being, and ultimately, disappearance,” according to the release.
