World Premiere Of N O W I S W H E N W E A R E (the Stars) Comes to BAM This Month
The event runs Nov 29—Dec 22.

Theater, video, and installation pioneer Andrew Schneider, a longtime Wooster Group company member and winner of a 2015 Obie award for his show N O W I S W H E N W E A R E, returns to BAM with his latest intersection of technology, human connection, and performance. Through a darkened space, an unseen narrator guides each participant through a personal and collective cosmos. Five thousand precisely programmed points of light-inspired by seeing the Milky Way for the first time, Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirror Room, and so much more-respond to each individual. Through movement, narrative, and the room's enveloping sound, N O W I S W H E N W E A R E (the stars) invites viewers to explore traces of light in themselves and the universe.
Andrew Schneider is an OBIE award-winning, Drama Desk-nominated performer, writer, and interactive-electronics artist creating original works for theater, dance, sound, video, and installation since 2003.

The show »remains« premiered for a single night before the global pandemic shut down all public gatherings. During the pandemic he has focused on demonstrating in the streets, facilitating a group to look at systemic oppression and privilege, and creating the technical infrastructure for a time-based, narrative, immersive, light and sound installation dealing with grief, loss, and presentness.

He is currently a Sundance "Art of the Practice" fellow and has received a fellowship from the Junge Akademie / Akademie Der Künste in Berlin (2022).
