Baryshnikov Arts Center (BAC) presents a World Premiere from playwright and director Ain Gordon, written and directed in partnership with percussionist and composer Josh Quillen.
In Radicals in Miniature, Gordon and Quillen perform a series of textual-sonic odes to personal icons of 20th century "alternative" culture. Theatrically conjuring a cabal of creative individuals who thrived largely between the Summer of Love in 1967 and the 1980's AIDS crisis, the work looks to history for perspective on the current social, political, and cultural moment.
BAC presents Radicals in Miniature in the Howard Gilman Performance Space at Baryshnikov Arts Center (450 West 37th Street in Manhattan) on May 16-20, Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30PM; May 21, Sunday at 2PM; and May 23-24, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30PM. Critics are welcome as of the first performance, which will also serve as the official opening. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at www.bacnyc.org or 866-811-4111.
