Lazarus
New York Theatre Workshop
Following his revelatory production of Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage, the internationally acclaimed director Ivo van Hove returns to New York Theatre Workshop with a new production, Lazarus, by David Bowie and Enda Walsh. Mr. Walsh makes his return to NYTW after the successful run of Once. Lazarus features songs specially composed for this production by Mr. Bowie as well as new arrangements of previously recorded songs. Lazarus, inspired by the 1963 novel The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis, centers on the character of Thomas Newton, famously portrayed by Mr. Bowie in the 1976 screen adaptation directed by Nicolas Roeg. Choreography by Annie-B Parson.
The Snow Falls in the Winter
Martha Graham Dance Company
“The Snow Falls in the Winter has always been a favorite, yet rarely performed, piece of mine. I am fascinated by Ionesco who called theater “embarrassing”— he liked his theater dry and straight up. I see this exchange with the MGDC as almost a quickening. The process of sharing it with the Company, a group of dancers trained in an entirely different tradition, from a different family tree in the forest of dance, excites me as a meeting of the minds (bodies in this case), and I relish the thoughts of this exchange.” – Annie-B Parson
