SITI will embark upon two exciting new projects for the 12-13 season: In collaboration with Bill T. Jones and his company, Anne Bogart and the SITI actors will boldly confront Stravinsky's RITE OF SPRING on the occasion of the works' one hundredth anniversary. Imagining the consequences of encountering the music for the first time, these groundbreaking artists will explore a new sense of what it means to hear this work.
In a new music/theater piece combining Charles Mee's short plays with the American songbook, the company will create an i-pod-like shuffle of scenes and songs called CAFE VARIATIONS. Combining and coalescing in an infinite variety of shapes and sizes, this new production can offer maximum flexibility to sit perfectly in almost any type of venue -- from proscenium to church basement.
Continuing in the rep are the starkly contemporary ANTIGONE by Irish writer Jocelyn Clarke, RADIO MACBETH, and other signature works.
Founded in 1992 by Anne Bogart and Tadashi Suzuki, SITI is based in New York City with a summer institute in Saratoga Springs. The company is recognized throughout the world as one of theater’s most important artistic collectives, creating groundbreaking work while training artists from all over the world. They have visited 21 countries on 5 continents and created more than 30 new productions including such iconic pieces as Seven Deadly Sins (1996), The Medium (1994), Death and the Ploughman (2004), bobrauschenbergamerica (2001), War of the Worlds—The Radio Play (1999), Hotel Cassiopeia (2006), Score (2002), and their recent collaboration with the Martha Graham Dance Company, American Document (2010).
