SEASON

WELCOME

THE WORLD ON STAGE As we head into our third season, I want to take a moment to thank you—your welcoming and enthusiastic response to our work has meant so much, and I am delighted to share our plans for ArtsEmerson’s 2012/13 Season.

Next season is structured with three different “rhythms” designed to allow greater programming flexibility. The first is a series of eight productions (covered in this brochure) which run September through April.

Then, as the season progresses, we’ll update you on additional productions. We’ve left room in our calendar to add presentations along the way, so we can bring you the latest, most exciting works and react quickly to what’s happening in the theatre world, both near and far.

Finally, we’ll bring you a concentrated festival of new works – just a few performances each of relatively unknown productions, giving you the opportunity to sample a range of theatrical gestures bubbling up from a younger generation.

Read more about the eight productions we currently have on sale. Since these remarkable projects have relatively short engagements (some are here for just a few performances!), I hope you book early and take advantage of our Season Packages—they offer the best prices and come with a membership.

Warmly,

ArtsEmerson’s theatre, film and music programming provides a new level of cultural choice for Greater Boston audiences. Our theatrical programming, described in this brochure, brings world class productions from across the country and around the globe that would otherwise never be seen in Boston, and is centered around: LEGENDS

Established, highly regarded institutions and artists whose work is celebrated around the world.

PIONEERS

A new generation of acclaimed artists whose ideas are redefining the performing arts and pointing to the future.

FAMILY

As part of ArtsEmerson’s commitment to including works that appeal to all ages, we have productions that will engage the whole family— young and old alike.

PARIS COMMUNE

THE CIVILIANS

In 1871, working-class Parisians took to the streets and overthrew the French government, declaring their city autonomous and launching an effort to radically reinvent society. The Civilians brings these explosive events to life in this new musical play. Using found texts and original songs from this extraordinary period, Paris Commune tells the story of Europe’s first socialist revolution, bringing alive the idealism, elation and eventual tragic downfall of this uprising. Boston audiences have the special opportunity to see this world premiere by The Civilians, who were part of ArtsEmerson’s first and second seasons with You Better Sit Down: Tales From My Parents’ Divorce and In The Footprint: The Battle Over Atlantic Yards, before it heads to New York.

SEQUENCE 8 LES 7 DOIGTS DE LA MAIN

After blowing the minds of Boston audiences with PSY, Les 7 doigts de la main returns with their sixth and newest creation, Sequence 8, giving Boston another chance to witness their incredible movement-based artistry. Placing extraordinary acrobatics in ordinary contexts, in Sequence 8 emotions heighten until they spring into action and relationships transform and evolve until they create actual velocity. Set not in a specific time or place but rather on a vertical canvas of sorts, this acrobatic dance and theatre piece contemplates the role of the “other,” and how we define ourselves through and against it. For their 10th anniversary production, Les 7 doigts de la main combines explosive physical exploits with a thoughtful depiction of human relationships for an unforgettable performance.

HAMLET

SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE THEATRE

From Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, a handful of players perform this timeless classic. Hamlet explores political intrigue and sexual obsession, philosophical reflection and violent action, tragic depth and wild humor. 21 year-old actor Joshua McGuire in the title role captures the youthful and less jaded aspects of Hamlet’s personality rarely seen in more traditional interpretations. In just two and half hours, this production embraces the theatre of Shakespeare’s day by returning to the roots of performance, with actors playing multiple characters. Humorous and boisterous, the Globe Company packs an emotional wallop with their inherent theatricality.

Shakespeare’s Globe is a faithful reconstruction of the open-air playhouse designed in 1599, and a unique international resource dedicated to the exploration of Shakespeare’s work. The Globe Theatre Company rediscovers the dynamic relationship between the audience and the actor in this unique space. Either sitting in a gallery or standing informally as a groundling in the yard, audiences experience performances just as they would have done 400 years ago.

TED HUGHES’

TALES FROM OVID

WHISTLER IN THE DARK

Boston’s own Whistler in the Dark company reaches for new heights in revisiting their bold staging that combines their signature pareddown aesthetic with dizzying aerial feats. An explosive combination of movement and poetry, Tales from Ovid cradles the myths that have been the basis for countless contemporary stories – stories of transformation, of transcendent passion, of gods and mortals locked in combat until that entanglement combusts into a new state of being.

Using Ted Hughes’ muscular and robust translation, which was awarded the Whitbread Prize in 1997, these myths are explored and exploded outward in this vibrant new adaptation.

MONA GOLABEK IN

THE PIANIST OF WILLESDEN LANE

ADAPTED AND DIRECTED BY HERSHEY FELDER BASED ON THE BOOK THE CHILDREN OF WILLESDEN LANE

BY MONA GOLABEK AND LEE COHEN

Set in Vienna in 1938 and London during the Blitzkrieg, The Pianist of Willesden Lane tells the true story of noted pianist and author Mona Golabek’s mother, Lisa Jura. A young Jewish pianist, Lisa dreams of a concert debut at the storied Musikverein concert hall. When Lisa is swept up in the kindertransport, to protect her from the Nazi regime, everything about her life is upended except her love of music and her pursuit of that dream. Golabek performs some of the world’s most beloved piano music in this poignant tribute to her remarkable mother. Directed by Hershey Felder (who brought Leonard Bernstein and George Gershwin to life at ArtsEmerson last season), The Pianist of Willesden Lane is about hope, survival and how, through our darkest times, music has the power to help us survive.

LEMIEUX PILON 4D ART

In this contemporary take on the original tale, the great love story of Beauty and the Beast gets reworked in an astonishing new multi-disciplinary performance. Masters of osmosis, blending real and virtual imagery, Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon set a new standard in multimedia performance with this production. The intense, luminous characters manage to transcend their broken hearts through their inexhaustible thirst for life.

Audiences will be spellbound as all theatrical elements – from Belle’s paintings to the characters’ dramatic transformations – spring to life, breaking the boundaries between real and virtual. With added passion and virtuosity, Lemieux and Pilon reimagine this universal story of resilience and the redemptive power of love against all odds.

JAN MAESTRO ARTIST MANAGEMENT PRESENTS

FAMILY HAPPINESS

FOMENKO THEATRE

After sensational multiple appearances at the Lincoln Center Festival in New York, the acclaimed international theatre group “Theatre-Atelier Piotr Fomenko” is debuting in Boston with Family Happiness, a story about the evolution of love, based on the eponymous novel by Leo Tolstoy and adapted for the stage by Piotr Fomenko. Told from the viewpoint of the main heroine, Masha, the play abandons the novel’s straightforward storytelling to recall the quiet affair between Masha and her father’s friend, Sergey, the first months of happiness, her thirst for social status and the disappointment with society, the return and attempt to build a new, calm kind of family happiness. Passionless, dry and, at times, cynical, Masha rips away the cover of time to reveal the sweet happiness of young love that can never be recaptured.

Family Happiness premiered at the Theatre-Atelier Piotr Fomenko in 2000 to rave reviews, and went on to win multiple awards and prizes for the cast and director. It is part of the theatre’s repertoire and is heavily featured on the festival circuits in Russia and Europe.

ABOUT FOMENKO THEATRE RUSSIA

Piotr Fomenko, one of Russia’s most renowned master acting teachers/directors, follows in the rich Russian theatrical tradition of master teachers who lead their own actors’ studios, (the first was Konstantin Stanislavsky at the Moscow Art Theatre). In 1993, Fomenko formed his own studio, Theatre-Atelier Piotr Fomenko, which has since become one of the most sought-after theatre troupes in Russia. The troupe made its North American debut at the Lincoln Center Festival in 2004 with War and Peace, based on Tolstoy’s great novel and Egyptian Nights, taken from unfinished works of Pushkin. Both works were adapted for the stage and directed by Fomenko.

THE SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS

CARLO GOLDONI

Identities are mistaken, engagements are broken and lovers are reunited in Carlo Goldoni’s commedia dell’arte masterpiece. Mayhem erupts when the wily—and chronically hungry—servant Truffaldino (played by acclaimed actor Steven Epp) hatches a zany scheme to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once. The virtuosic physical comedy of The Servant of Two Masters is directed by Christopher Bayes, whose hilarious choreography is featured in the hit stage production of Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps.

METAMORPHOSIS

VESTURPORT THEATRE AND LYRIC HAMMERSMITH THEATRE

Kafka’s terrifying but bizarrely comic story bursts onto the stage in this theatrically explosive new version. Fantastic and horrific, surprisingly funny and poignant, the ordinary, unremarkable life of the Samsa family turns upside down when their son, Gregor, emerges one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a gigantic bug.

Combining breathtaking physicality and daring aerial action, the recently transformed Gregor lithely negotiates a gravity-defying split level set in this hugely acclaimed production directed and adapted by Gisli Örn Gardarsson and David Farr. With evocative original music composed by world-renowned musician and lyricist Nick Cave and long-time collaborator Warren Ellis from The Bad Seeds, the music emphasizes Kafka’s dream-like vision and turns it into an electrifying reality.

EMERGENCY

DANIEL BEATY

A slave ship emerges in front of the Statue of Liberty, sending New York City into a whirlwind of emotion and exploration. In this explosive solo tour-de-force featuring slam poetry, multicharacter transformation and song, Daniel Beaty portrays a cast of 40 characters. A homeless man, a scientist, a Republican business executive, a street vendor, and an 11-year old boy from the projects all respond to this unexpected phenomenon. Through the characters’ individual responses to this surreal happening and their varied testimonies on identity and personal freedom, Emergency weaves a stirring commentary on what it is to be human and the longing to be free.

NEVA

THE PUBLIC THEATER, NYC

“Neva brings a jolt of artistic purity...which should force us to look again at what art is all about.”—Stage and Cinema In a politically charged, haunting meditation on theatre and the revolutionary impulse, Chilean writer-director Guillermo Calderón’s Neva tells the story of Anton Chekhov’s widow, the actress Olga Knipper, who arrives in a dimly lit rehearsal room in St. Petersburg in the winter of 1905. As Olga and two other actors await the rest of the cast, they huddle together, act out scenes from their lives and muse on their art form and love—while, unseen, striking workers are being gunned down in the streets by the Tsarist regime. This satirical yet intense performance savagely examines the relationship between theatre and historical context, so that “The eighty minutes of Neva come at you with the shock that comes when poetry and politics walk hand in hand. Neva knows that laughter is good for the soul, but horror is better” (Stage and Cinema).

TROJAN WOMEN

SITI COMPANY

In the ruins of their burning city, the royal women of Troy—still mourning the slaughter of their husbands and sons—await enslavement and exile. Among the greatest of all antiwar dramas, Trojan Women meditates on the moments of individual choice that separate death and life, despair and hope, future and past. In a contemporary adaptation by Jocelyn Clarke, characters such as Odysseus who were formerly seen but not heard appear, and live original music underscores the timeless tale. Acclaimed director Anne Bogart and her SITI Company return to ArtsEmerson after this spring’s Café Variations with this vital production of Euripides’ classic.

AN ILIAD

DENIS O’HARE AND LISA PETERSON

Visionary theatre artists Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare have crafted a sprawling yarn based on Homer’s epic poem in their OBIE-winning collaboration that begs the question: Has anything really changed since the Trojan War? An Iliad spins the familiar tale of gods and goddesses, undying love and endless battles told through the eyes of a single narrator, whose enigmatic experience of the war reverberates with today’s headlines. Peterson’s acclaimed, cutting edge work as a theatre director here combines with O’Hare’s inimitable range as an actor (Tony-winner for Take Me Out, television’s “True Blood”), to create a tour de force performance of this sweeping account of humanity’s unshakeable attraction to violence, destruction and chaos.
