Oud Player on the Tel presents a story about the founding of Israel from both sides' perspectives, though very sensitive to the Palestinian narrative. The premise is that there are two true, competing, and irreconcilable narratives around the founding of the State, and the first step toward peace is understanding the validity of the other side’s point of view.

Based on the novel by Dana Spiotta, Eat the Document unfolds in the wake of a radical protest gone wrong. Shifting between the 1970s and the 1990s, this new opera by composer John Glover, librettist Kelley Rourke, director Kristin Marting, and music director Mila Henry considers idealism, activism and consequences, while exploring connections between the two eras – their language, technology, music, and activism.

Obie Award-winning writer/director Shayok Misha Chowdhury's recent play, Public Obscenities, is a Pulitzer Prize Finalist and was singled out as one of the best theater works of 2023 by The New Yorker. His newest work, RHEOLOGY, is a performance memoir created and performed with his mother, the physicist Bulbul Chakraborty. Chakraborty's specialty is the titular science of rheology, the laws governing the malleability and movement of matter under force. Another of her loves is the poetic songs of Bengali composer Rabindranath Tagore. These songs paint glorious pictures about the drama of nature: monsoons produce drum-like thunder claps, rivers let loose their long hair into waterfalls, music flows through generations. Chakraborty learned these songs from her foremothers, then passed them on to Misha. In this production, an artist son studies his physicist mother while she studies the strange behavior of sand. Together, they try to understand the science and perform the story of how things flow.

Spring 2025 | Tickets On Sale Soon
Theater in Quarantine imposes its strictest limitations to date in this hybrid, digital confrontation performed entirely from a box measuring only 34” wide by 19” tall. Pushing the boundaries of, and proximity to, a concept of self-exposure that’s becoming the default extension of our ever more codependent relationship with technology and life online, [Untitled Miniature] asks how we find ourselves embedded within all this technology. How is our body exploited when the content we share is ourselves? [Untitled Miniature] is being developed as a durational, solo-performance for a Spring 2025 premiere intended for both an in-person audience at HERE’s DOT theater in New York City, and a live-streamed audience on HERE’s digital platform URHERE.​​
