Waterwell, one of the Village Voice’s Best Arguments for Devised Theater (2010) and creators of #9 and The|King|Operetta, present their latest drop, the live concept album, GOODBAR. Created in collaboration with NYC glam-punk band, Bambï, GOODBAR blurs the boundaries between music and theatre while tackling one of the most controversial cult artifacts of the '70s: Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Riffing wildly on the novel by Judith Rossner, Bambï & Waterwell crank the amps up to 10 and launch a full frontal assault on modern myths of sex, independence, and persona. GOODBAR also integrates video performances by Ira Glass, Moby, Bobby Cannavale, and many others.

SONTAG: REBORN
January 4-15 (Running Time: 80 minutes)
Based on the book by Susan Sontag and edited by David Reiff
The Builders Association (New York)
$20 Tickets: publictheater.org or 212-967-7555

SONTAG: REBORN draws from cultural critic Susan Sontag’s journals, tracing her academic and personal journey from the age of 14 to her emergence as a singular public intellectual. In SONTAG: REBORN, performer Moe Angelo’s actions and words are magnified and transformed using a richly visual media environment to depict the workings of Sontag’s prismatic mind. SONTAG: REBORN creates an elegant portrait of a magnetic personality under careful construction.

Formed in 1994 and led by director Marianne Weems, The Builders Association creates original theater works about life in the 21st century. Previous works include Jet Lag, Alladeen, Super Vision, Continuous City, and House/Divided.
