“Steel Hammer” is the latest collaboration from acclaimed composer Julia Wolfe, Obie-winning SITI Company, and the celebrated ensemble Bang on a Can All-Stars. The play inventively examines key contemporary social issues through the folk song "John Henry," the legendary steel-driver who challenged a steam drill in a man versus machine contest. It serves as a potent vehicle for examining the African American experience and the malleability of myth and fact. Music and the spoken word woven with movement, dance, and percussion on a variety of surfaces, including the performers’ bodies, create a highly original theatrical experience.
“’Steel Hammer’ bangs out a spectacularly inventive social message.” The Los Angeles Times

“alternately clamorous, haunting, exhilarating” The New York Times
