Jo Strømgren Kompani's The Society in NYC
Catch Norway's Jo Strømgren Kompani in New York this October. This groundbreaking troupe will perform The Society, a play about a society of sworn coffee drinkers...
"The Jo Strømgren Kompani has never appeared in New York City. It is time it came,” wrote New York Times' Jennifer Dunning about the Kompani's performance at the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival in 2006, and now they are finally here in NYC.
As the society of coffee drinkers gather for their daily ritual the harmony is broken by a horrific incident: the discovery of a used teabag. As the investigations unfold the questions become more complicated. Do they have a domestic traitor among them or is the teabag a symbol of a much larger global scenario?
When: Oct 15-19, Wed-Sat 8:30pm , Sun 6:30pm
Where: Harry de Jur Playhouse of the Abrons Art Center, 466 Grand St, NYC
