GATHERING

Gathering is an invitation, it’s a party, a protest, a celebration of harvest, the championship game. Gathering is a night of storytelling and play that is part staged work, part interactive experience in collaboration with local artists and audiences. Produced and performed by Yaa Samar! Dance Theatre (Palestine/NYC) and directed/choreographed by Samar Haddad King to Max Richter’s Vivaldi: The Four Seasons with text and additional original music by King, each Gathering is a singular event that calls you to join as participant or witness in the collective action.
