Coming next week to HERE Arts in the Dorothy B. Williams Theater is Tariq’s Interlude, a high-speed solo show written and performed by Antonyio Artis, developed with and directed by Tessa Bagby.
The show will run August 20th - August 24th, 2025 at HERE Arts Center, Dorothy B. Williams Theater, as a part of HERE Arts' Sublet Series.
Beep…beep….beeeeeeeep…….An NYC train singer named Tariq wakes up in Purgatory with no memory of his death. Despite a rocky past and with big plans for the future - including an impending proposal to his pregnant girlfriend, Marissa - Tariq convinces God to let him live one more day to prove his life deserves more living. Except God is a bad communicator, the music of the city is loud, and there’s something going on with Marissa that everyone except Tariq seems to know about…
With only his body and a chair, Antonyio channels the sounds and motion of New York City, transforming between six characters while transporting us through Purgatory, the park, the subway, a McDonalds in Queens. This show is hilarious, soulful, and serves as both a love letter to NYC and to the born-and-bred underground artists who populate it.
Tariq’s Interlude is a physical, joyous, visceral solo show that explores personal responsibility, faith, and what it means to choose how we express love.
The team includes lead producer Devon Kish, production stage manager Sloane Fischer, assistant director Mayah Lourdes Burke, sound design by Amelia Way, light design by Vittoria Orlando, and graphic design by Kenzie Packer.
There will be six performances, including a pay-what-you-wish matinee on Saturday, August 23rd.
