Last Friday marked the first time I watched a live theater performance from a swivel chair. The occasion was Big Dance Theater's presentation of Ich, Kurbisgeist at New York Live Arts. Directed by Paul Lazar and written by Sibyl Kempson, the work is a chaotic and humorous collage of sound, movement, and visual art.
New York Live Arts presents Big Dance Theater's (BDT) Ich, Kurbisgeist, today, October 31 - November 2, andNovember 5 - 9 at 7:30pm, and November 1, 2, 8 and 9 at 10:00pm, as part of its signature program, the Replay Series. An 'impressively inscrutable' (The New York Times) work directed by Paul Lazar, co-directed and choreographed by Annie-B Parson and written by Sibyl Kempson, a playwright of works 'authentic, appealing, and...thrill[ing]' (Village Voice), Ich Kurbisgeist returns to the stage just in time for Halloween.
