2020
by Anna Pasztor in Collaboration with the Performers
We all knew the year of 2020 would be of utmost importance even before it began. “2020” started as a reflection on the concept of "Alternative Facts" and as time went by, it extended to integrate current events such as the COVID pandemic and the death of George Floyd. The dramaturgy was created using excerpts of "The notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge" of R.M. Rilke.

Performers: John King, viola (New York), Jane Wang, multi-instrumentalist (Boston), Jim Mansfield, drums (New York), Viv Corringham, voice (New York), Luisa Muhr, voice (New York) Anna Pasztor, dramaturgy, video (New York)
