The Ume Group's 5-Year Anniversary NY Season at the Irondale Center (Brooklyn, NY)
The physical theatre ensemble hailed by New York critics for its "commanding, physically impressive performances" (The Village Voice) and "risky physical vulnerability" (nytheatre[;;;;;;;dot];;;;;;;com) is celebrating its 5-Year Anniversary with a week of performances at the historic Irondale Center in Brooklyn, NY, August 10 - 13, 2016.
Each evening features 3 of the company's major works on a ravishing triple bill, including the WORLD PREMIERE of their latest original work "LYSISTRATA PROJECT" - a Commedia Dell'Arte-styled adaptation of the classic anti-war sex comedy by Aristophanes. Also included are "DREAM DANCES" a moving meditation based on the real-life dreams of the artists and audiences themselves and "FACET", a butoh-based dance-theatre duet chronicling the rise, fall, and one-ness of mankind with a raw & poetic physicality.
