Fall 2025

A new work by Rashaun Mitchell + Silas Riener that explores the thinking body and collective uncertainty. Technological and human paths converge into a dynamic choreography for the stage that imagines an Artificial Intelligence lovingly programmed by experimental dance. Blurring the lines between brain, body, and machine, the work builds an ever-evolving experience, amplified by a sweeping, mechanical sound score by electronic musician Mas Ysa, media design by Jesse Stiles, and lighting design by Davison Scandrett.

On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished mid-flight — an event that remains one of aviation’s greatest mysteries. Acclaimed director Helgard Haug interweaves this unfathomable disappearance with a deeply personal story: her father’s slow fading into dementia. Through documentary storytelling and an evocative live score the production transforms loss into an immersive theatrical experience.

Cheeky, political, and best described as Animal Farm meets Pokémon meets Final Fantasy, asses.masses puts the control(ler) in its audience’s hands and asks them to discover the space between the work that defines us and the play that frees us.

Legendary Irish actor Stephen Rea takes on Samuel Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape in a revelatory new production directed by Vicky Featherstone. Direct from its acclaimed run at London’s Barbican, this gripping solo performance explores memory, regret, and the passage of time with Beckett’s signature wit and stark poetry.

Just in time for Halloween, Theater In Quarantine returns with Phantom of the Opera, a live, remote world premiere inspired by the 1925 silent horror film. Broadcast from miniature stages in an East Village apartment, this gothic digital performance distills the story to its core: an artist-as-saboteur trapped in a tradition-bound system.

Norwegian theater company Susie Wang makes its highly anticipated U.S. premiere with Burnt Toast, a surreal and darkly comic thriller that blends horror, humor, and the uncanny. Set in a crimson-hued hotel lobby in the American South, the play follows a mysterious man with a silver briefcase and a nursing mother whose chance encounter spirals into a bizarre, unsettling narrative.

Belgium’s renowned Ultima Vez makes its NYU Skirball debut with the U.S. premiere of Infamous Offspring, a high-voltage exploration of myth, power, and rebellion. Directed by the visionary Wim Vandekeybus, this electrifying work reimagines ancient myths through raw physicality, cinematic storytelling, and a pulse-pounding score.

My Town is a bold and darkly humorous dance-theater piece from acclaimed artist Jack Ferver, with multimedia by Jeremy Jacob. A queer reimagining of Thorton Wilder’s Our Town, Ferver’s wry, razor-sharp storytelling transforms the nostalgia of small-town life into something far stranger — and far more unsettling. Also inspired by the haunting Wisconsin Death Trip and the eerie undercurrents of Ferver’s own rural past, My Town unearths the ghosts that linger in America’s heartland, revealing how the places we leave never really let us go.
