The coming year is set to be our most ambitious and exciting ever! Get ready for a year of mind-expanding experiences you can’t find anywhere else. With four mainstage shows and six special presentations, you have ten radically local, radically global performances to choose from. And our year would be nothing without putting all those shows in conversation with brilliant visual art. We’ll have more gallery updates and individual production pages coming soon!
Mainstage:
In the Fire – September 20-29
In the Fire is a thrilling and heartwarming performance by aerialist and fire-performer Holly Benedetti. The piece explores and honors the work of her father, a fire captain, and is performed to remixed recordings of his memories, accompanied by video projection and a gorgeous score for a chorus of live voices.
Rosa and Blanca – November 8-17
A pair of brilliant sisters leave civilization for the deep dark woods. A fairy tale very much not for children.
Baba Yaga – February 21 – March 2
A family circus adventure! A witch in a hut on chicken legs, and a young girl who stands up to her: the classic Slavic tale brought to life by the team that created last year’s Peter and the Wolf.
Ithaca Fever – April 11-20
World Premiere by Saviana Stanescu
1903: a fatal typhoid epidimic strikes Ithaca.
