In conjunction with Letter to a Man
Featuring Joan Acocella, Paul Giamatti, Jennifer Homans, Darryl Pinckney and Larry Wolff
Co-presented by BAM and the Center for Ballet and the Arts, New York University

Due to popular demand, this event is at capacity, but watch the livestream here beginning at 7pm.

Paul Giamatti performs a reading of excerpts from Vaslav Nijinsky’s diaries, chronicling his profound alienation and descent into madness, as performed by Mikhail Baryshnikov in this season’s Letter to a Man and directed by Robert Wilson. Afterwards, leading thinkers in the field engage in a lively discussion on dance, madness, and sexuality. Panelists include The New Yorker contributor Joan Acocella, novelist/playwright/essayist Darryl Pinckney, and historian Larry Wolff with Center for Ballet and the Arts Director Jennifer Homans as moderator.
