Bobbi Jene Smith’s BROKEN THEATER
April 20 - April 30
An AMOC* Production
Presented at La MaMa
Ellen Stewart Theatre | NYC Premiere
Special Event as part of the La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival
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?
