At the height of the pandemic in 2020, when the world was locked away in lonely rooms with only old movies to watch at midnight, Errico suddenly returned to one of her life-long obsessions – noir! The genre is noted for its dark, disturbing sensibility of intractable fatalism that Paris existentialists discovered in American film during the 1940’s. Noir continues to run as a mesmerizing, mysterious current through modern movies and music, and Errico has embraced it in her own artistic endeavors.
Lincoln Center's free concert series The History of the World in 100 Performances with Adam Gopnik kicked off on February 17 with Leonard Bernstein's 1943 takeover of the New York Philharmonic. Below, watch Jake Gyllenhaal and Jeanine Tesori perform 'Maria' from WEST SIDE STORY at the event!
