Prophetika: An Oratorio OPENING NIGHT

La MaMa presents Prophetika: An Oratorio, directed by Princess Grace Award-winning stage director Charlotte Brathwaite from March 20 through April 5. In this multidisciplinary work, Brathwaite joins forces with eclectic composer/pianist Courtney Bryan and celebrated installation artist Abigail DeVille in a sonically stimulating, visually spectacular work with original music that draws influence from the music and writings of Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane and sacred music from various traditions. Prophetika will be presented in an immersive space densely layered with suspended sculptures and reflective mirrored surfaces. Part theatrical event, part visual art installation, part ritual ceremony, Prophetika: An Oratorio proposes a mythical cosmology of colliding reflections on freedom and a view of the current state of our world. Prophetika: An Oratorio will be performed at The Club at La MaMa, March 20–April 5, 2015. Tickets: $18/13 students and seniors.

Ten $10 tickets will be available to every performance on a first-come, first-served basis.

Performance schedule: Fridays and Saturdays at 10PM and Sundays at 6PM.  For tickets call the La MaMa Box Office at (646) 430-5374.  For more information visit www.lamama.org. The Club @ La MaMa Theater is located on the second floor of 74A E. 4th St. (between the Bowery and Second Ave.) New York, NY 10003.
