The fall of patriarchal power through a fragmented journey through King Lear's memory is the premise that sustains this contemporary perspective on the Shakespearean classic, where the internal confrontations between father and daughter and the consequences of power take center stage. Among them, a young figure—the jester, the echo, the bridge—bursts forth with truths that can no longer be silenced because in Lear, time stops moving; it repeats itself, dissolves, and opens like a wound that transforms the old King's memory into a battlefield.

Live From Emmet’s Place is the touring version of Emmet Cohen’s live-streamed series, which brought world-class jazz into homes during the pandemic. Cohen and his trio re-create the series onstage with a living room-style jam session complete with top-tier musicianship and surprise guests. Inspired by Harlem rent parties, the show invites audiences to feel as if they’re in Cohen’s New York apartment.
