Between 2nd Avenue and Bowery.
A hauntingly romantic moving sculpture of muscles, tendons, and bone. Achingly animated in an extremely rigorous choreography, Kevin Augustine’s spectacle embraces a pure minimalism as he puppeteers solo—using his hands, toes, and outstretched legs.
Inspired by Butoh dance, this hybrid work brings LWT’s exquisitely sculpted foam-rubber puppets uniquely to life in a wordless, tender meditation on life’s beautiful impermanence. A series of dream-like vignettes (50 min total) elevates our shared human journey between death and birth as the boundaries of puppetry itself are expanded.
Within Mark Bruckner’s intricate, electro-acoustic score accented by hints of nature, Body Concert whispers a poetic resonance: we are all alive with life all around us...Unforgettably tender images appear and dissolve amidst lingering vapor and falling snow, a quivering leg is caressed by a compassionate arm, a sightless baby searches for its mother, and a giant eyeball gives birth to itself...
Please Note: La MaMa requires proof of Covid-19 vaccination and photo id for entry into the building and attend this performance. Masks must be worn inside at all times.
