Inspired by the 1967 Stanley Kramer film starring Sydney Poitier, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, the work pays tribute to those who paved the way toward acceptance in love and life. Set around a transformative dinner setting, seven dance-theatre artists explore access and ritual as they seek a seat at the table.

Pascal Rambert Talks to Time Out NY

French director, Pascal Rambert talks to Time Out New York's Gia Kourlas about A (micro) history of world economics, danced - which comes to the Ellen Stewart Theatre on October 11th as part of the Crossing The Line Festival.

"French director Pascal Rambert has a singular touch when it comes to blending dance and theater. In A (micro) history of world economics, danced—which has existed in various incarnations in different cities since its 2010 premiere—Rambert looks at the effect of the current economy on a group of 50 local performers. Through writing, reading and moving, they share their stories inside of Rambert’s trademark theatrical structure: a white floor, fluorescent lighting and succinct direction that never veers into sentimentality yet, all the same, makes you feel. He spoke about the New York version of the show, which is coproduced by the French Institute Alliance Français, La MaMa and Performance Space 122 as part of Crossing the Line."
