New York, NY – October 30, 2013 – Robert Wilson’s The Life and Death of Marina Abramović will have its U.S. premiere and its only New York performances in Park Avenue Armory’s soaring Wade Thompson Drill Hall December 12 – December 21, 2013. The production reimagines the extraordinary life and work of Marina Abramović, from her challenging childhood in the former Yugoslavia to her present day work as a performance artist. The work straddles multiple artistic disciplines—incorporating elements of theater, music, design, and visual art. Wilson’s dynamic staging will be realized in the Armory’s soaring 55,000- square-foot drill hall.
Marina Abramović will star in the title role, playing herself as well as her imposing mother. She will be joined by actor Willem Dafoe, and singer Antony (of Antony and the Johnsons), performing original music and songs.
The Life and Death of Marina Abramović premiered at the Manchester International Festival in 2011, and has since played to sold-out audiences and rave reviews in Madrid, Basel, Antwerp, Amsterdam, and Toronto.
The final production of the Armory’s 2013 season, The Life and Death of Marina Abramović exemplifies the Armory’s mission of providing artists with the means to break the mold of traditional presentation, expanding their creative practices through collaboration and use of the Armory’s dynamic platforms. The season also included Karlheinz Stockhausen’s trailblazing score OKTOPHONIE with a lunar environment designed by Rirkrit Tiravanija; Paul McCarthy’s monumental installation WS; the dramatic staging of British playwright Matt Charman’s The Machine, in which Garry Kasparov battles IBM’s Deep Blue computer; Massive Attack V Adam Curtis, a film and music experience exploring 30 years of politics; and the introduction of a new, intimate recital series held in the newly revitalized Board of Officers Room.
