Sabina Mollot takes a look at The Shell-Shocked Nut for Town & Village Blog: 

In this version, the East Village is featured prominently in the storyline with the veteran character taking the lead character, a young girl to a local community garden as well to see a show at LaMaMa theater. The characters travel via a hot air balloon from one act to another and end up meeting all kinds of local characters.

Video Trailer: Rumore di acque (Noise in the Waters)

TRAILER Noise in the Waters in NY from Teatro delle Albe on Vimeo.

Set on a volcanic islet in the strip of sea between Europe and Africa that has been the scene of a devastating tragedy for the past fifteen years, this intense, grotesque and nightmarish poem on the tragedy of migrants will grab you and won’t let you go till the end.

In conjunction with the performance this acclaimed Italian group, Teatro delle Albe, will conduct workshops with students from Scuola d’Italia Guglielmo Marconi, La Guardia High School, Corpus Christi School of Harlem, and Montclair University

NY Times Loves LA DIVINA CARICATURA

****NY TIMES CRITICS' PICK****

Laura Collins-Hughes on Lee Breuer's LA DIVINA CARICATURA, playing through Sunday, December 22 at The Ellen Stewart Theatre.

"Lee Breuer’s dark, joyous and utterly splendid musical fantasia...'La Divina' is indeed unusual: strange, singular, perfectly self-contained and so wondrous that it may leave you in a daze. Don’t say you haven’t been warned."
