Songs of Protest and Resistance
March 6, 2020
Nueva Canción: Songs of Protest and Resistance (CONCERT VERSION) is a new, music-based multimedia event created by Sandra Powers and Timur, and performed by the glam rock band Timur and the Dime Museum. Produced by Beth Morrison Projects, the concert is rooted in the Latin American song movement that began in the 1960s and criticized political oppression and spurred sociopolitical change. Nueva Canción focuses on the songbook of Mercedes Sosa, the driving force behind the movement. In addition, Timur’s memories of being raised under communism and then witnessing the collapse of the Soviet Union will provide a personal perspective on the complexity of political regimes.
Nueva Canción: Songs of Protest and Resistance is a National Performance Network/Visual Artists Network (NPN/VAN) Creation and Development Fund Project co-commissioned by Beth Morrison Projects in partnership with Miami Light

Anita Berber Is Dead!
November 14 - 24, 2019

Acquanetta by Michael Gordon
Performances: July 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 & 21.
An homage to the campy and spine-chilling horror films of the 1940s, Acquanetta combines theater, opera, and film to explore the world of a real-life B-movie star with a mysterious past. With a soaring and often comic score from Bang on a Can cofounder Michael Gordon and text by librettist Deborah Artman, Acquanetta examines the ways the movie camera manipulates how we see and are seen. A vivid cast of characters reveal their inner longings and emotional shadows in a haunting meditation on identity, transformation, stereotypes, and typecasting, set in the heyday of Hollywood glamour. This visual and musical tour de force is directed by Daniel Fish, whose 2015 SummerScape production of Oklahoma! transfers to Broadway this spring.
