SEATTLE, WA – PNB closes its 2014-2015 season with CARMINA BURANA, a dynamic duo of repertory works. Set to Shostakovich's galvanic score, Alexei Ratmansky's crowd-pleasing Concerto DSCH, an “endlessly suspenseful construction [with] passages of breathtaking dance brilliance” (New York Times) dazzles the eyes and ears with its playful, propulsive energy and glimpses of storytelling. In Kent Stowell's primal Carmina Burana, a grand-scale synthesis of dance, chorus, and orchestra, the famous cantata's poems materialize as the entire Company unites song and score for a jubilant communal experience under Carmina scenic designer Ming Cho Lee's colossal golden wheel. The program also includes a musical prelude to shine the spotlight on the world famous PNB Orchestra, currently celebrating its 25th Anniversary.  CARMINA BURANA runs for seven performances only, May 29 through June 7 at Seattle Center's Marion Oliver McCaw Hall. Tickets start at $30 and may be purchased by calling 206.441.2424, in person at the PNB Box Office at 301 Mercer Street, or online at PNB.org.

Zum Abschluss der Spielzeit 2014/15 und wahrend der Art Basel prasentiert das Theater Basel ab 16. Juni 2015 in Halle 3 der Messe Basel eine Intervention des international bekannten Kunstlers Romeo Castellucci. «The Parthenon Metopes» ist ein raffiniertes Spiel um Kunst und Realitat, das die grossen Menschheitsfragen stellt: Woher kommen wir, wohin gehen wir? Und welche Macht bestimmt uber unser Leben? Wieder einmal erweist sich als wahr, was Kleists Alraune in der «Hermannsschlacht» dem romischen Feldherrn Varus, der mit seinem Heer im Sumpf des Teutoburger Walds feststeckt, auf seine Frage, wo er sich befinde, antwortet: 'Hart zwischen Nichts und Nichts!' Das Ratsel des Lebens ist nicht zu losen.

SUFFER THE LONG NIGHT belongs to that class of backstage comedies like NOISES OFF and FASHION: THE MUSICAL where the audience sees an actor playing an actor who is playing a character in a show. SUFFER THE LONG NIGHT first debuted in 2008 in Los Angeles and this production marks the first time it has been seen in Texas. Usually, these shows are about the performers plowing ahead in the face of everything under the sun going disastrously wrong. This variation on that theme is written by Greg Glienna & Mary Ruth Clarke, writers of the film "Meet the Parents". Glienna & Clarke take this genre to the max by having a fake "program" that wraps around the actual program and a pre-show that starts the moment you get your ticket. Once you've been asked "Have you had your flu shot?" the show has begun.
