T
wo titans of avant-garde performance—director Anne Bogart and choreographer
Elizabeth Streb— join forces for the first time to take on works by Obie Award–winning
rebel playwright Charles Mee in an original production commissioned by Peak Performances.
In FALLING & LOVING, six actors from SITI Company and six dancers from STREB EXTREME ACTION storm
the stage and launch into the air with the aid of a Guck Machine, an enormous contraption conceived by
Streb that features rings and buckets armed to continually release materials into the stratosphere.
Artists, ideas, and objects collide in this radical new production.
