Bobbi Jene Smith’s Broken Theater 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?

Co-commissioned by La MaMa, Mass MoCA, AMOC*, and New Dialect.
