Join us for the premiere of Shadow of the Sea, a new performance project by Beau Bree Rhee conceived in dialogue with Cristina Iglesias’s Landscape and Memory exhibition, and presented in partnership with The Kitchen and Madison Square Park Conservancy.

Composed as a “dance poem,” the performance will feature an ensemble of dancers performing eight distinctive “stanzas,” seven of which will be performed on the Oval Lawn in Madison Square Park, where Iglesias’s installation of five bronze sculptural pools traces a historic creek.

Prior to the performance in the park, Shadow of the Sea will feature an opening segment that involves viewers following the performers on a walk through the city. To experience this segment, viewers may choose to meet the performers at 5 PM on the east side (East River Promenade and East 10th) or west side (Pier 64) of Manhattan. Staff from The Kitchen will be present at both locations to direct visitors. These walks will last approximately 30 minutes. Click here for more information on this portion of the performance.

Additional performances of Shadow of the Sea will take place on October 12 and 20, 2022.
