Baryshnikov Arts Center Joins Forces With Performance Space 122 for a "Disorienting" Nude Revue
Midtown’s Baryshnikov Arts Center is looking for some downtown cool. For 2012, the venue called upon the East Village non-profit arts center Performance Space 122 for a radical co-presentation.
The production, “Untitled Feminist Show,” is a self-proclaimed "disorienting revue designed to expand our sense of what a person could be outside the bounds of traditional gender categories," conceived and directed by experimental theater impresario Young Jean Lee. In the show, six performers take the audience on a ride through music, dance, and performance — while simultaneously completely baring their varied body types.
Other productions set for 2012 are Robert Wilson’s "On the Beach" from April 5 to 7, which features Philip Glass’s opera "Einstein on the Beach" performed by five teams of artists staging five different sections of the libretto. There will also be a fusion of John Cage’s 1944 composition "Four Walls" performed by pianist Alexei Lubimov with a new staging of Merce Cunningham’s 1993 piece "Doubletoss" by former Merce Cunningham dancers.
