Broken Theater is a new work created within the walls of La MaMa that melds live dance-theater, music, and cinematic beauty. Twelve artists meet in a ghost theater where they grapple with love, humiliation, and loss at the cost of each other. When the script has disappeared, when the audience is gone, where are the lines between the part you play and the person you are?

Broken Theater: Benefit Night

Ellen Stewart Theatre

Bobbi Jene Smith’s Broken Theater

Broken Theater, Bobbi Jene Smith’s newest work that melds live dance-theater, music, and cinematic beauty, continues its premiere run at OZ Arts in Nashville, TN

Broken Theater explores themes of power, love and trust in a threading together of dance-theater, music, and cinematic beauty. It presents a company caught in the theatrics of rehearsal. Company members, preparing for a show, perform music by Schubert, Bach, Connie Converse, and Pete Seeger, exquisitely curated and choreographed. But signals are crossed; the chain of command breaks down; the artists repeat, rebuild, and take apart the moment of performance.

The performance Broken Theater is as complex and unique as its creator and cannot be captured in words alone. It must be felt, sensed and experienced.
