A Very Meow Meow Holiday Show
Created and performed by Meow Meow (with a little help from her friends)
BAM DEBUT
Come all ye seekers of yuletide delight and mayhem: the crowd-surfing “Queen of Chanson” (Berliner Zeitung) and New Yorker Performer of the Year makes her BAM debut.
Hot on the heels of an acclaimed, sold-out run in London, this holiday show is dazzling with exquisite and original music, glitter for days, and hilarious, biting satire. A crash course on performance mastery, Meow’s show is a high octane meditation on the perils, pleasures, and actual point of the season—the ultimate antidote for the holidayweary reveler.
Presented in association with Soft Tread Enterprises and Meow Meow Revolution
Originally commissioned and produced by Southbank Centre, London as Apocalypse Meow: Crisis is Born.
Following A Very Meow Meow Holiday Show at the Harvey Theater, audience members are invited to join in for some BAM holiday cheer. Keep the merriment going late into the night with snacks and an open bar.
With no stage and no performers, this hands-on communal experience is an intimate shared adventure through the particularities and nuances of our tactile sense.
Kyle Marshall, the Bessie Award-winning choreographer and member of Trisha Brown Dance Company, celebrates variations of blackness in Colored, alongside the world premiere of a new work.
This macabre, enchanting work from director-choreographer Dimitris Papaioannou presents a ravishing mess of disembodied limbs on a shape-shifting floor, set to the strains of Strauss’ Blue Danube waltz.
Set inside barber shops in six different cities, playwright Inua Ellams weaves a rich, joyful tapestry of unfiltered stories about father-son relationships and black masculinity, set to an Afrobeat score.
Come early and join the cast onstage with music, mingling, and dancing. The party continues after the show with a photo booth and pop-up photo exhibition, plus DJs curated by OkayAfrica and Okayplayer on Friday and Saturday evenings!
