"Swimming to Spalding" (New Orleans)

Nov. 12-13, at the Contemporary Arts Center, 900 Camp St. (504) 528-3805. A 70-minute monologue reflecting on Lian Amaris’ pilgrimage to the sites in Thailand, which Spalding Gray evokes in his account of the filming of “The Killing Fields.” Part homage, part commentary, Amaris also speaks of her experiences from Bangkok brothels to Baghdad bombings, from Mardi Gras to mental institutions.
