View theatre details
Based on texts by Sylvia Plath, Pablo Neruda and other poets, Nightclub Cantata is a joyful song cycle of world poetry set to music and movement about what compels us back to life and to living as one. Created by innovator, activist and theatre icon Elizabeth Swados, the eclectic review of sound, literature, poetry, and bold physicality melds to intrigue, provoke, and engage the listener. Whimsical, intense, insightful and singular, Nightclub Cantata is a theatrical creation combining the seriousness of a cantata with the frivolousness of a nightclub. The ground-breaking work premiered at The Village Gate in 1977 and has not been seen on the NYC stage for over 40 years! It is born of the avant-garde tradition of the 1960s and 70s, yet it is fresh, vital and relevant to our lives today.

Nightclub Cantata is presented by Nightclub Cantata LLC (Jesse Manocherian, producer) and by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals. Music Director: Miles Plant; Lighting Designer: Matt Lazarus;  Costume Designer: Nicole Wee; Set Designer: Romello Huins Stage Manager: Arthur Atkinson; Assistant Stage Manager: Richard Urquiza; Dialect Coach Charlotte Cohn; Percussion Jessie Nelson; Casting: Stephanie Yankwitt, CSA; Public Relations: Paul Siebold/Off Off PR
