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.

Broken Theater

Aarhus Music Hall

The New York premiere of Harawi realizes Olivier Messiaen’s deeply affecting, hour-long song cycle for voice and piano in new physical and dramatic dimensions. It features soprano Julia Bullock and pianist Conor Hanick, with choreography by Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber and direction by Zack Winokur. Moving from duet to quartet with dancers Bobbi Jene Smith and Zack Winokur, this production breaks open Messiaen’s cycle, connects movement to music, and grapples with the intensity of love and loss.

Three bold voices. One visionary spark. This program traces the enduring influence of ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev through works that reimagine the spirit of the Ballets Russes for today. Dubbed “two ‘it’ choreographers” by The New York Times, witness a world premiere from Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber. Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s Faun refracts myth through a modern lens, echoing Nijinsky’s revolutionary sensuality. Yuri Possokhov’s next@90 Festival hit Violin Concerto returns with its technical brilliance and Stravinky’s virtuosic score. Distinct in style yet united by collaboration across disciplines, these three works celebrate risk, reinvention, innovation, and artistic virtuosity—hallmarks of Diaghilev’s legacy and the adventurous heart of this season.
