A FALL FESTIVAL THAT PUSHES THE BOUNDARIES OF SPACE AND FORM

The New Now Festival is a momentous, transformative return to in-person programming where we invite you to join us in simultaneously exploring and expanding the potentials of our home, the Behnke Center for Contemporary Performance. We are developing new pathways between forms and between the worlds created within the building and the world outside. The festival, beginning September 14, 2021, features work from Beyond This Point, jumatatu m. poe and Jermone Donte Beacham, and Faye Driscoll.

Where do we go for peace of mind? How do we navigate our truths with the truths of others? In a world that shrinks, and blends, and mixes, how can we challenge the divisions that are created for us without our permission? Benjamin Hunter blends sound and imagery to create a kind of dreamspace, where the mixture of vibrations and shapes coalesce to create an escape, and a release, all in search of a safe space to be who we want to be, not what others claim we are. 

On the Boards and the Henry Art Gallery are pleased to co-present a screening series.

Combining digital theatre and a live Instagram feed, viewers will scroll backwards through time to learn the story of two kids who are driving too fast.
