Sure, there is a saying “If it ain’t baroque don’t fix it.” Company XIV’s artistic director and choreographer Austin McCormick, expert in all things baroque, opulent, and performative, isn’t fixing anything — he’s just changing it a little.

Bringing new life to classic and familiar stories with his immersive retellings, McCormick’s most recent show, Queen of Hearts, is now onstage at the company’s permanent location on Troutman Street in the informal nightlife center of Bushwick, showing a new side to “Alice in Wonderland.”

The show itself — at its best when it is most irreverent and also most referential — takes place just off the Jefferson L, in a former warehouse and current land of dreams (or perhaps pre-adolescent nightmares for the easily scared, yet imaginative). The surroundings themselves are lush, with hyper-designed surroundings, including an indoor faux-tree, carousel ponies on the bar, and a martini glass that is sized to fit a human in the place of an olive.
