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."

Audiences Love SHAKESPEARE'S SISTER!

Audiences are having a fantastic time at Irina Brook's SHAKESPEARE'S SISTER!

"Creatively presented and witty! I felt part of the women in the kitchen ready to share my own experiences and thoughts. From the beginning of the show till the end, I was kept engaged. The singing, dancing and violin playing made the play very enjoyable in spite of its serious topic. Very innovative!"

Maria R.

"Inventive and entertaining! The actors so are talented - it is fun and interesting evening."

Fay R.

"Evocative, heartfelt writing and a superbly talented cast made for a richly rewarding evening."

Mort T.

"The cast gave an outstanding professional performance as their movements were so natural, and their interaction graceful. The integration of music with singing and guitar and violin solos was a strong element in Shakespeare's Sister. The performance was so enjoyable for my guest and me."

Irene S.

"Shakespeare's Sister has whimsical style, which, in my opinion, makes the subject matter more interesting and draws the audience's attention. Kudos to Irina Brook and her actors for a lovely and enjoyable performance! "

Olivia M.

"Shakespeare’s Sister presents a most enjoyable fast moving emancipatory discourse among five actresses. Directed by Irina Brook they are covering popular (mis)conceptions about womanhood with wit and irony in a complex performance which incorporates compelling French chansons and violin music."
