First Look: IT'S ALL TRUE

All photos by Joy Choi for La MaMa

It's All True is an opera-in-suspension based on the complete live archives of iconic underground band Fugazi. An obsessive leap into 1500 hours of gig detritus made from only incidental text and sounds, none of Fugazi's actual songs. An ear-body-and-mind-flossing: overloaded, maddening, properly funny, and a radical incitement to action.

Video Preview: John Kelly's time no line

time no line is a solo performance based on John Kelly’s 40 years of journal writing.  The work theatrically combines his deeply personal texts with movement, video, music, song, and live drawing into a ‘live memoir’.  His experiences within the East Village art scene of the 1980’s, gender performance, and the AIDS epidemic, have defined his status as a survivor whose presence challenges the ruptures in our cultural and generational dialogue.

Ajijaak on Turtle Island
An IBEX Puppetry Production
Directed by Ty Defoe and Heather Henson

Separated from her family, young whooping crane Ajijaak undertakes her first migration from Canada to coastal Texas alone. Her journey is disrupted by environmental, industrial, and mythical chaos. Ajijaak must follow her intuition to fly onward, learning from the neo-indigenous communities she encounters along the way. Bringing community together through puppetry, traditional dances, projections and kites, ​Ajijaak on Turtle Island will inspire the next generation of eco-champions.
