The theater workshop Revisiting Reza Abdoh, led by original Dar a Luz company members Tom Pearl and Tony Torn, invites actors and performers to engage with the work of Reza Abdoh. Workshop participants will be revisiting Abdoh’s plays Law of Remains and Quotations From a Ruined City in particular, restaging these canonical works with an eye to incorporating new idioms and new configurations.
Reza Abdoh founded the theater company dar a luz in New York City in 1991. Over the course of four years, the company staged the plays The Law of Remains (1992), The Hip Hop Waltz of Eurydice (1992), Tight Right White (1993), and Quotations From a Ruined City (1994).
Revisiting Reza Abdoh takes place within the context of the exhibition Reza Abdoh.
The exhibition by Reza Abdoh is part of the project David Wojnarowicz, Reza Abdoh, Frank Wagner and funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Europe, Berlin.
The exhibition is co-produced with MoMA PS1 and generously supported by the Marina Kellen French Foundation, Coleção Moraes-Barbosa, and Casper.
