NYC’S HOME ANDARTISTICPERFORMANCE,CUTTING-EDGEFORRESEARCH,PUBLICDISCOURSE.
NYU Skirball holds close James Baldwin’s dictum that “artists are here to disturb the peace.” Our mission is to present adventuresome, transdisciplinary work that inspires yet frustrates, confirms yet confounds, entertains yet upends. We proudly embrace renegade artists who surprise, productions that blur aesthetic boundaries, and thought-leaders who are courageous, outrageous, and mind-blowing. We are NYU’s largest classroom. We want to feed your head. This autumn, we are thrilled to welcome back Meg Stuart/ Damaged Goods and the International Contemporary Ensemble, along with their friends, Pulitzer Prize-winner, Henry Threadgill, and the Iranian Female Composers Association. And we are ecstatic to partner once more with FIAF’s Crossing the Line Festival to present the North American premiere of Caroline Guiela Nguyen‘s epic Fraternité, A Fantastic Tale.

John Jasperse Projects makes its first appearance at NYU Skirball with the premiere of Visitation, a new dance that is part seance and part exorcism. Created in collaboration with performers Tim Bendernagel, Cynthia Koppe, and Doug LeCours, the work loosely draws on spiritualism, Mesmerism, the occult, hysteria, and the exoticization of myth. Original music by Jasperse’s long-time collaborator Hahn Rowe is interspersed with orchestral fragments by the controversial and polarizing composer Richard Wagner. John Jasperse has been working as a dance artist in New York City for 37 years. He has created nineteen evening-length works with John Jasperse Projects as well as numerous commissions for other companies including Baryshnikov’s White Oak Dance Project, Batsheva Dance Company, and Lyon Opera Ballet. John Jasperse Projects has been presented in 26 US cities and 29 countries. He is the recipient of a 2014 Doris Duke Artist Award and two Bessie awards (in 2014 and 2001). Jasperse is co-founder of CPR — Center for Performance Research in Brooklyn, New York and is Director of Dance at Sarah Lawrence College. nyuskirball.org

The breakout hit of Festival d’Avignon 2021, Caroline Guiela Nguyen‘s epic Fraternité, A Fantastic Tale is set after a sudden cataclysm where half of humanity has disappeared without a trace. To fill that void, people begin to create a new kind of social center: the “Centres for Healing and Consolation.” There, people are able to leave messages for the departed and try to keep the memories of their loved ones alive. In sharing their stories, they transform these tragic tales into songs that work to rebuild a future with the starry echoes of those they lost. This ambitious piece is the second part of Caroline Guiela Nguyen’s performance cycle on the theme of fraternity. She spent over two years assembling a diverse cast of professional and amateur actors, aged 16 to 79 to create and perform Fraternity. Speaking French, Arabic, Vietnamese, and English, they reveal the poetic and fantastic potential of our present and future realities.

Last seen at NYU Skirball with Until Our Hearts Stop (2018), Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods returns with VIOLET. Five dancers reveal simultaneously and singularly an energetic landscape, a charged terrain of options. Their actions are manifestations of surging phenomena, imperceptible but always active. VIOLET is a steep descent into a maelstrom, a swirl of energetic patterns and kinetic sculptures full of detail, partnered live on stage by musician Brendan Dougherty on electronics and percussion. Perhaps the most abstract piece so far in her long standing career, VIOLET bears Stuart’s unique signature, an art that hones a frail “condition humaine” in its intense physical emergence. Recipient of the Venice Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in Dance and 2008 Bessie Award (and NYU Tisch School of the Arts alum), Meg Stuart is a choreographer, director and dancer who lives and works in Berlin and Brussels. With her company Damaged Goods, founded in 1994, she has created over thirty productions, moving freely between the genres of dance, theater, and visual arts. Her work is driven by a sense of experiment and artistic gathertransformshethebutandrewriteStuart’sandourscriptsnarrativereality.andchallengingcross-pollination,thelimitsofthebodyexpandingourperceptionofSheusesfictionandshiftinglayerstoexposethethatarewrittennotonlyonbodiesbutalsoonthespaceslandscapesthatwemovein.workquestionshowwecanthesehistoriesofourselvesothersnotbylookingback,byharnessingthepotentialofmoment.Throughherpractice,exploresdanceasawaytothesocialfabricandcommunities.

An example of Japanese storytelling brilliantly realized by one of Japan’s most important living classical music composers, Toshio Hosokawa’s mesmerizing and haunting opera is based on Yukio Mishima’s Hanjo, which was inspired by a 14th-century Noh play. This production is directed by the renowned Italian choreographer Luca Veggetti, a frequent collaborator of Hosokawa, who has staged critically acclaimed productions of Hanjo in Germany and Tokyo. Neal Goren, Catapult Opera’s Founding Artistic Director, will conduct the Talea Ensemble Toshio Hosokawa is a celebrated composer of contemporary classical music.

RADIOSITI MACBETHRADIOCOMPANYRADIOMACBETHMACBETH SITI THEATREOCTOBERRADIOCOMPANY:MACBETH20-22
SITI Company is an ensemblebased theater company whose three ongoing components are the creation of new work, the training of theater artists, and the promotion of international cultural exchange. Built on the bedrock of ensemble, they believe that through the practice of collaboration, a group of artists working together over time can have a significant impact on both contemporary theater and the world at large. In October 2020, SITI Company announced its Legacy Plan, a comprehensive set of activities designed to celebrate the company and their achievement over the past 30 years before the organization sunsets at the end of 2022. nyuskirball.org
SITI Company makes its NYU Skirball debut with Radio Macbeth, inspired by Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre on the Air. Late at night in the guts of an abandoned theater, actors circle restlessly around the common shared warmth of a rehearsal table, moving through Shakespeare’s briefest and perhaps most magnetic play. Around them, in the perimeter of the space, the ghosts of all previous productions hover and encroach. The spirits of ambition, violence, fortune, free will, and madness flicker and glow. The actors cling to the sanity of words while the chaos of history grows to be undeniably present with them in the room.

TRAJAL HARRELL: MAGGIE THE CAT OCTOBER 27 & 28 USA DANCEPREMIERE
Troubled but tough, unloved but unbowed, Maggie the Cat is the captivating focus of Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Now, acclaimed American choreographer Trajal Harrell places Maggie center stage in his magnetic new dance work, a dazzling and provocative fusion of high art and pop culture that premiered at Manchester International Festival 2019. Set to a soundtrack ranging from electro and pop to classical music, Maggie the Cat addresses power, gender, rejection, and inclusion through the prism of one of modern theatre’s most celebrated characters. Influenced by everything from ancient Greek theatre to the Harlem voguing underground, it’s challenging, tragic, entertaining — and ultimately Thejoyous.American choreographer and dancer Trajal Harrell is one of the most important choreographers of his generation. He rose to fame thanks to a series of works in which he combined a speculative view of history and canon with the idiom of post-modern dance, augmented with multiple elements from contemporary pop culture. In 2016 Harrell completed an Annenberg Residency at MoMA, where he focused on the work of the Japanese founder of Butoh dance, Tatsumi Hijikata. In 2018, Harrell was named “Dancer of the Year” by the renowned German magazine Tanz. He lives and works in between Athens, Greece; Zurich, Switzerland; and Georgia, USA. Currently he is the founding director of the Schauspielhaus Zürich Dance Ensemble. nyuskirball.org

Serge Aimé Coulibaly is a dancer and choreographer from Burkina Faso. His inspiration is rooted in African culture and his art is committed to the necessity of powerful contemporary dance. Since founding the Faso Dance Théâtre company in 2002, Coulibaly’s productions have been presented in many theatres all over Europe and Africa. This performance marks his American debut. nyuskirball.org
The one who is arriving, the one who is here, the one that they tell us will take our place, our job, our house. Music and choreography take center stage in a constant exchange, with non-stop music written and performed by the musician Malik Mezzadri (Magik Malik), an Ivory-Coast-born French flutist and jazz musician.
Wakatt, the new creation by Serge Aimé Coulibaly, examines daily reality and social changes through a dance language that starts from internal violence, human instinct, urgency and the need to express oneself. Wakatt, meaning “our times” in the Mossi language of Burkina Faso, is a reflection on the fear-filled contemporary era we live in. At a time when nationalism is on the rise in most parts of the world, the starting point of this new creation is “the fear of the other.”
