Helen Shaw reviews “Bark of Millions,” at the Brooklyn Academy of Music; Cole Escola’s “Oh, Mary!,” at the Lucille Lortel; and “Aristotle Thinks Again,” at La Mama.

The more-than-four-hour-long psychedelic gorgeousness marathon “Bark of Millions,” co-created by Mac, the composer Matt Ray, and the costume designer Machine Dazzle, doesn’t use rhetoric to turn up our internal queer volume; its persuasion is less intellectual, more sensual. “Bark” consists of fifty-five songs, each one inspired by a different queer historical figure, performed without narrative or expository patter by a twenty-two-person ensemble.

Christi’an wears a white peacock fan that rises up behind her head, part parade float, part bird; Chris Giarmo, who spends most of the night in a tummy-baring orange leotard, also wears a short jacket, with a painting on the back, re-creating Michelangelo’s image of God extending his finger toward Adam’s. Mac begins the evening in fifties-hostess splendor: a wig of rose-colored tulle, pink cigarette pants, and a dress with panniers à la polonaise.
