Performance Space New York
June 21-28

Performance Space New York’s “East Village Series,” “the first themed series under the leadership of Executive Artistic Director Jenny Schlenzka, has reexamined the audacious origins of the organization and the communities that formed around it. In 1986, choreographer Ishmael Houston-Jones, composer/guitarist Chris Cochrane, writer Dennis Cooper, and an ensemble of dancers performed the first full version of THEM, an unblinking interdisciplinary work of scored improvisational dance, spoken text, and guitar, at what was then Performance Space 122. Audiences were presented not only with an unapologetic and nuanced depiction of gay male sexuality, but also confronted with a chillingly coded vision of the horrors of the AIDS epidemic. Performance Space brings Houston-Jones, Cochrane, and Cooper back into the renovated space for a timely remounting of the work that concludes the East Village Series, June 21-28. The cast also includes Alvaro Gonzalez Dupuy, Johnnie Cruise Mercer, Michael Parmelee, Jeremy Pheiffer, Kensaku Shinohara, Michael Watkiss, and Hentyle Yapp.,” notes the release.  Find out more here https://performancespacenewyork.org/shows/them/
