‘Under the Tangle’ a powerful metaphor for adolescence

The newest dance play by Treehouse Shakers, “Under the Tangle” will be performed at the Gelsey Kirkland Arts Center on Feb. 13 and 14.

Visually vibrant, the production is the original dance-play about an adolescent girl who becomes ensnarled in a labyrinth after the sudden loss of her parents.

Throughout her journey, she twists along the brambling pathways being confronted with obstacles, finding numerous clues, and meeting many unusual characters: a flock of birds, the daunting labyrinth guards, and the Queen of the Lost perched upon a grim tower. As a metaphor for adolescence, this visual and artistic adventure is a journey of obstacles, relationships, and discoveries, which strengthen the heroine’s character, and eventually set her free from the labyrinth. Recommended for children ages 8 and older.

“Under the Tangle” Feb. 13 and 14 at 11 am; $20 to $35 (group and school rates available).

Gelsey Kirkland (GK) Arts Center [29 Jay St. between John and Plymouth streets in Dumbo, (212) 715-1914, www.treehouseshakers.com]
