At the future Chocolate Factory Theater, 38-29 24th Street (corner of 39th Avenue), LIC. 7/N to Queensborough Plaza / F to 21st Queensbridge.

Gathering begins at 7:30pm. Film screening and conversation begins at 8pm.

We’re launching a book and a new short film as part of Line Death Dance! This multi year performance project by Melanie Maar, conceived to accompany The Chocolate Factory Theater’s space transformations, was transformed itself by the pandemic and by a loss for the “live”.

The book (edited by Laurel Atwell and published by masse) and the short film by Melanie Maar and Brian Rogers are the latest births of Line Death Dance.

At this intimate live gathering we will introduce the book, screen the film and host an artist talk with Melanie, Laurel and Brian.
