Chocolate Factory Theater Announces New Season

The Chocolate Factory Theater in Long Island City has its dance card filled for the fall and spring season. Kicking off the performances of dance, theater, music and all-of-the-above is “Flutter” by MVworks, a New York City-based dance company founded by Megan V. Sprenger.

In October, the Bessie award winner Karinne Keithley Syers is performing a new piece, “Another Tree Dance,” that combines sound, dance and text. Also on the calendar is “Someone Once Told Me I Was a Sound Man” by the choreographer Jon Kinzel.

The spring lineup includes Target MarginTheater, which will present a new version of the Yiddish play, “Uriel Acosta (Doubt is the Food of Faith),” adapted and directed by David Herskovits. The story follows the fate of a 17th-century Jew in Amsterdam who is excommunicated. Later, the choreographer, Liz Santoro, another Bessie winner who is based in Paris, will present “Relative Collider,” a work co-commissioned and presented with the Abrons Arts Center.
