Find My Way Home
Revisiting his 1988 work "Find My Way Home," the renowned performance artist will take part in a special week-long, work-in-progress residency at MAD.
"Find My Way Home" resets the Greek myth of Orpheus during the Great Depression. The tragic story of the fabled god of music's decent into the underworld to save his true love is told in part by employing sections from Gluck's Baroque opera "Orfeo Ed Eurydice," originally written for a male castrato but performed by Kelly in his signature countertenor voice, along with Depression-era Noel Coward songs and French cabaret tunes. This highly original interpretation garnered Kelly a 2010 NEA American Masterpieces Dance Award.
In partnership with New York Live Arts, MAD presents John Kelly's "Find My Way Home" as a series of open and closed rehearsals, culminating in a work-in-progress concert version on September 30. This residency and performance will provide a rare glimpse into the process of re-examining and reinterpreting a work before its final staging at New York Live Arts in October.
