• Jack Ferver Dance Work / PS 122 •




Jack Ferver
 (Wednesday and Thursday) This interesting artist, a creator of indefinable power-struggles and psychic dramas, is a lover of the limelight and a player of what Claudia La Rocco described in these pages as “his personal-is-political, queer-aesthetic fame game.” In “Rumble Ghost” he has seven performers reinterpret the 1982 horror film “Poltergeist,” conflating that narrative against one of group therapy. Therein, it seems, the true horror lies, and Mr. Ferver is likely to exploit every ounce of excruciating self-revelation for all its worth. But that, dahlings, is theater. (Through Dec. 12.) At 8 p.m.,Performance Space 122, 150 First Avenue, at Ninth Street, East Village, (866) 811-4111, ps122.org; $20; $15 for students and 65+. (Roslyn Sulcas)
