“Art has the possibility of uniting us. And the reason that we make theater—the reason we call it a play—is we’re playing. We’re having fun.”
ROBERT WILSON (1941—2025)
hen we first decided to stage the extraordinary dramatic interpretation of Moby Dick Robert Wilson created for the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus as the pillar of our Winter/Spring 2026 season, it was understood that he would be here to join us. Bob’s relationship with BAM spans more than five decades and includes some of the most pioneering works ever presented on our stages, from The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud (1969) to The Old Woman (2014). More than a member of our family, Bob was, is, and will always be a part of our artistic DNA—his unquenchable curiosity, ineffable vision, and earnest playfulness creating a standard we commit to sustaining.
It makes sense, then, to position Bob’s fantastical recasting of a classic tale as the centerpiece of a season devoted to big stories, big productions, and big collaborations. Few figures in the annals of literature can match Melville’s white whale in stature, but Shakespeare’s moody Prince of Denmark rises to the occasion—and it’s certain to be an occasion when Hiran Abeysekera stars in Hamlet, initiating our exciting new partnership with the National Theatre, a company that shares our commitment to the belief that every story is contemporary when we gather together to experience it anew.
With Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels, we welcome both the thrilling debut of French dance collective (LA)HORDE and also the return of Trisha Brown Dance Company—a perennial favorite, marking the 50th anniversary of its BAM debut! There’s even more legacy in the air with the Brown company celebrating artist Robert Rauschenberg and choreographer Merce Cunningham, vital longtime collaborators who came together for the first time here, on a BAM stage, in 1954.
Along with these thrilling events, our season includes imaginative, persuasive new projects by major artists like V (formerly Eve Ensler) and Todd Almond, a salute to pop-music icon Stevie Wonder, and a timely premiere by Jolyon James. DanceAfrica returns for its 49th year of discovery and joy, and we welcome another enduring partner, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, back for a fourth consecutive spring berth. Add in our exceptional film program, thrilling family programming, and vibrant educational initiatives, and the result is a new season that meets Robert Wilson’s call for art that unites us all.
Thank you for joining us.

Music has always been fundamental to the mission at BAM—it’s in our name. Our BAM Free Music series, launched in 2025, packed the house with audiences hungry for fresh sounds. Programmed by trusted music curator Lia Camille Crockett, our second season turns the spotlight on Caribbean artists and sounds, a reflection of Brooklyn’s disparate yet interconnected Caribbean cultures.
An instant sensation in its first season, BAM Free Music presented major artists like Bilal and Pedrito Martínez alongside rising stars such as Angélica Garcia and Riccie Oriach. Summer brought an exciting new partnership with BSE Global for their inaugural Planet Brooklyn Festival. Stay tuned for our detailed season announcement, coming soon!
BAM Free Music events are held in The Adam Space at BAM’s Peter Jay Sharp Building, a premier destination to see and hear local, national, and global artists in a welcoming setting suited to listening, mingling, and dancing. Get your groove on with fellow music lovers and tastemakers, with DJs keeping the music flowing before and after each performance.
Free Music
BY STEVE SMITH
From the moment BAM Music Curator-At-Large Lia Camille Crockett first laid eyes on the Howard Gilman Opera House, it was love at first sight. Little did she know that in just a few years’ time, the feeling would be mutual. She had just arrived in Brooklyn from Austin, Texas, where she grew up in a household awash in Puerto Rican heritage, cultural abundance, and music-industry savvy. Now, the fledgling producer was exploring her new home borough on foot—one neighborhood at a time.
“When it was Fort Greene’s turn, I immediately fell in love with the neighborhood and said, I can’t wait to live here someday when I grow up,” Crockett recalls, laughing. Walking along Lafayette Avenue, she admired one stately structure as she passed, but didn’t realize what she’d found until she crossed the street and looked back.
Music Curating community in sound
The inaugural series, which ran from January to June of 2025, succeeded beyond everyone’s wildest dreams. Lines to get into Brooklyn’s buzziest new party stretched down the block; inside, talented musicians and DJs packed the dance floor. “My overarching thoughts were, how can I speak to as many Brooklynites as I can in only a few shows, and how can I make people move, because this is a dance floor.”
In assembling her first series, Crockett looked to what had worked at past BAMcafé events, but also leaned into her own expertise in dance music. She opened big with neo-soul sensation Bilal and charismatic percussionist Pedrito Martínez, cultivating an audience open to fresh discoveries like Dave Guy and Riccie Oriach. “That was definitely the intention,” she confirms, “to start strong and earn trust, and then build momentum for artists who might benefit from a little more of a push.”
“I had idolized the Brooklyn music scene for so long,” Crockett explains, “and when I put the name to the place, it was like: This place is truly special.” When she joined nearby cultural organization BRIC as a producer of live music events, she became a friendly neighbor—and, she adds, a proud BAM Member.
Crockett wasted no time putting her own stamp on Brooklyn’s abundant, diverse music scene, first at BRIC and then as the founder of Parcha Projects, through which she worked throughout the city as a creative producer, curator and consultant. When BAM set out to reactivate The Adam Space, former home to the beloved BAMcafé series, with a new initiative that would come to be called BAM Free Music, the Parcha Projects credo—“Music discovery for passionate listeners”—made Crockett an ideal partner.
Even as BAM Free Music gained momentum, Crockett was laying the groundwork for another extraordinary booking: Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade, whose Next Wave engagement breaks new ground for BAM and the versatile superstar artist alike. And with the Winter/Spring 2026 season comes a new BAM Free Music series—this one focusing specifically on Caribbean artists.
“I’m very inspired by the intersections of so many Caribbean cultures in Brooklyn,” Crockett explains. “The goal for this year is to showcase exciting artists from the Caribbean and their expansive sounds—not just in folkloric styles from their home countries, but also showing how much Caribbean artists have influenced music that is globally popular, from jazz and hip-hop to reggaeton and electronic music.”
And audiences, she insists, are open to exploration. “Listeners are more adventurous than we sometimes give them credit for,” Crockett says. “Just because someone is a hardcore salsero doesn’t mean they’re not open to hearing a soca band and falling in love.”

Experience Set & Reset, hailed as an “instant masterpiece” (The New York Times) and featuring music by Laurie Anderson, alongside Merce Cunningham’s Travelogue, a collaboration with Rauschenberg and composer John Cage.

Inspired by writer/director Jolyon James’ experience parenting a child on the autism spectrum, this funny and deeply moving family show speaks to young people and adults alike.
The story follows eleven-year-old Juniper May, whose world unravels after her classmates declare her “the most hated person in the school.” Withdrawn and isolated, Juniper is saved when her desperate parents turn to an unexpected ally: a giant singing robot. Blending digital technology, animatronics, and a stunning original score, Robot Song is a joyful, uplifting reminder of the power of love and imagination.

Kicking off an ongoing partnership between BAM and London’s National Theatre, director Robert Hastie (Operation Mincemeat) brings his witty, fearlessly contemporary take on Hamlet across the Atlantic for a four-week run. Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) stars in this sharp, darkly funny reimagining of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy.
Since its first staging at BAM in 1861, Hamlet has returned more than a dozen times, helmed by luminaries like Ingmar Bergman, Peter Brook, and Thomas Ostermeier. Now, Hastie’s fresh new production marks yet another groundbreaking chapter to BAM’s legacy of daring Hamlets.

BAM is embarking on an ambitious partnership with The National Theatre of Great Britain.
This collaboration represents far more than a shared season or a single production—it’s an alignment of mission, infrastructure, and vision. This multi-year collaboration will bring National Theatre shows to the Harvey Theater, to BAM Rose Cinemas, and into classrooms across the five boroughs. This partnership empowers each organization to be the best version of itself and, in doing so, offers a model of international collaboration rooted in trust, imagination, and public service.

In the face of a full-blown climate emergency, can we band together and intervene before it’s too late? This is the question at the core of Dear Everything, a fierce new folk-pop musical from V (formerly known as Eve Ensler), whose sensational 1996 work The Vagina Monologues continues to make waves around the world. Featuring the great Jane Fonda as narrator, this rousing performance marks a monumental creative collaboration between V, director Diane Paulus (Pippin, Waitress), producer-songwriter Justin Tranter, and singer-songwriter Caroline Pennell.
When the adults in a small town try to sacrifice the nearby forests for money, teenager Sophia galvanizes her fellow young people to stop it—endowing them with a sense of empowerment they never thought possible. With an electrifying rock Dear Everything is a thrilling, raucous call to collective action addressing the most pressing issue of our day.

Regarded as one of the greatest of all American novels, Herman Melville’s Moby Dick comes to BAM in a new production created by the iconic avant-garde director Robert Wilson for Germany’s Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus. This classic tale of obsession and vengeance becomes enigmatic and new in Wilson’s mix of tart dialogue with indie-rock riffs and soaring ballads by British singer-songwriter Anna Calvi.
Born in Waco, Texas, Robert Wilson (1941—2025) was among the world’s foremost theater and visual artists, renowned worldwide for his poetically deliberate use of time, space, and light. His longstanding relationship with BAM commenced with The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud (1970), and included visionary collaborations with such disparate artists as Philip Glass, David Byrne, Tom Waits, Kathleen Brennan, Lou Reed, and Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon. He was last here to present Letter to a Man with Mikhail Baryshnikov during Next Wave 2016.
Anna Calvi is an award-winning English singer-songwriter, composer, and guitarist, who previously collaborated with Wilson on the opera The Sandman Moby Dick is her BAM debut.

Love at first sight is easy … letting it through the front door is an Odyssey
I’m Almost There, a critically acclaimed musical journey by Todd Almond (Girl from the North Country, Gossip Girl), comes to BAM from the Edinburgh Fringe. Directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer (Good Night, and Good Luck; The Band’s Visit; Our Town), this whimsical yet poignant piece transplants The Odyssey into the modern world of dating. The monsters here are nosy neighbors, and the path leads through self-deprecation, heartfelt longing, and offbeat humor.
Accompanied onstage by musicians Erin Hill (harp/vocals) and Luke McCrosson (bass), Almond brings his journey to life with original songs that evoke his anxieties, hopes, and comic missteps, telling a humorous and profound story about fear and love.
