The Elif Collective Presents TIMON OF ATHENS In August
TIMON OF ATHENS runs August 4-14, 2024 at Alchemical Studios.
The Elif Collective will present TIMON OF ATHENS running August 4-14, 2024 at Alchemical Studios (50 W 17th St, New York, NY, 12th floor & rooftop).
The Elif Collective's Timon of Athens is an interactive exploration of song, dance, bodies, sex, movement, friendship, and wealth. This play, adapted from Shakespeare's original text by The Elif Collective with lead adapters Abigail Duclos and Isabel Tongson, invites audiences to dive head-first into a world of meretricious tatters, plastic food, false friends, glittering masks, and nepo baby debauchery.
Our play tells the story of Timon, a young, furious, and fabulous Manhattanite whose fortune dwindles after the sudden death of both of his parents-coupled with a new and special focus on his personal assistant, Flavius, who wants nothing more than to burn everything around her into ashes. Featuring two original songs and myriad dances (choreographed by Ellie Houlihan and our brilliant team of actors), Timon of Athens is a bold reimagining of Shakespeare's original text, bringing the timeless themes of friendship, money, jealousy, and desire to exciting new heights.
Join The Elif Collective and the company of Timon of Athens August 4-August 14, 2024 at Alchemical Studios for an evening where you'll dance, snack, socialize, watch Shakespeare, and mourn.
