'GREAT COMET' Director Rachel Chavkin's CONFIRMATION and More Set for COIL Fest 2016

COIL is Performance Space 122's annual performance festival that demonstrates the constant vitality of live performance in New York City featuring work created locally, across the US and around the world. The 2016 edition recently announced its lineup, including a new work by NATASHA, PIERRE, AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 director Rachel Chavkin. Scroll down for the full list of productions, running today, January 5-17, 2016!

"COIL 2016 attacks the very concept of boundaries and of limits. The boundaries between ideologies, life and death, the contemporary and historic, human and machine, light and darkness, audience and performer. Limitations of time, identity, age and geography disappear. The work we will see this year deals with evolutionary transformation -- personal, social and artistic. I am proud that the program includes so many artists whose work has never been seen in New York. It is our most ambitious festival, ever, and the very last outside of our home at 150 First Ave," said Vallejo Gantner, Artistic Director.

The COIL Pass (8 tickets for $122*) is now on sale! Single tickets will go on sale November 9th and may be purchased online, via phone at 212-352-3101, or in person at venue box offices except where otherwise noted. Single ticket prices vary per event. For more information, click here.
