The acclaimed dance trilogy, The Painted Bird, will be shown in New York in its entirety (four hours with two intermissions) for the first time as a highlight of the 2013 La MaMa Moves! Festival!.

A presentation of Pavel Zuštiak/Palissimo Company, the work addresses themes of "displacement, otherness and transformation," taking its impetus from the 1965 controversial novel by Jerzy Kosinski. Previously, New Yorkers have seen individual sections--Bastard, Amidst and Strange Cargo--at various venues as the piece developed. La MaMa will offer tickets for the complete trilogy or for individual sections.

This should prove to be a hot ticket. Put it on your calendar now (June 21-30). For a schedule and complete ticketing details, click here.
