If you haven’t seen it yet, tonight is the final evening of David Michalek’s “Portraits in Dramatic Time,” part of the Lincoln Center Festival.

What at first appears to be a still snapshot of an actor on stage unfolds, gesture by barely perceptible gesture, into massively amplified theatrical nuance. David Michalek has photographed actors of all genres at 3,000 frames per second in ultra-high definition; these images have been slowed to a glacial pace—5–12 seconds play out over 8 minutes or more—and will be projected onto a mammoth, 85-by-45-foot screen hung before the façade of the David H. Koch Theater.

“Portraits In Dramatic Time” runs from 8:45 – 11:45 pm at Columbus & 63rd.
