About the Show
Dec. 16, 2023 - Jan. 28, 2024
by YASMINA REZA; translated by CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON; directed by KIMBERLY SENIOR
Serge begins his foray into contemporary art collecting with a big purchase: an unframed white canvas with barely-there white diagonal lines. When his close friend Marc regards the painting with ridicule, Serge is deeply insulted. The two men separately vent to their mutual confidant Yvan, who sees both sides of their seemingly trivial disagreement but wants to keep the peace. When the three friends meet for a night out, the dispute escalates into an all-out interrogation of why they’re even friends in the first place. Brimming with intense and funny dialogue, this Tony Award-winning satire circles existential questions and regularly breaks the fourth wall to include the audience in the onstage musings.

About the Show
January 11-13, 2024
“Lewis’s working method offers a compelling counterpoint to genealogy. Instead of tracing history’s fissures, she tugs at its contours, distorting them.” —Artforum
Exploring the intersection between pleasure and distress induced by moments of scandal, Berlin-based conceptual choreographer Ligia Lewis’s new work weaves together historical, political, anecdotal and mythical narratives. Lewis’s dance performance work draws inspiration from people and moments such as Enlightenment thinker John Locke and the 1521 revolt by enslaved people in her family’s home of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; even Lewis’s great-grandmother appears as a guide of resistance. Surprising, deeply layered, and mysterious, A Plot/A Scandal explores the seen and unseen, representation, and refusal.
Content and Sensory Notes: This performance contains graphic sexual content, nudity, fog, lights that flicker and change quickly, sudden loud sounds, and profanity. Additionally, there are a few moments where performers will perform off the stage near the front aisles of the theater space.
