MERCE CUNNINGHAM, LIZ GERRING, KYLE ABRAHAM: THREE DUETS
JULY 12, 2024
The outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage presents Merce Cunningham, Liz Gerring, Kyle Abraham: Three Duets as a special one-night-only performance on July 12. This performance includes a “Choose What You Pay” ticketing option, with a suggested ticket price of $25.
The evening brings together three distinctive duets: an arrangement from Merce Cunningham’s Landrover, Liz Gerring’s Dialogue, and Kyle Abraham’s MotorRover. These three works first appeared in a 2021 digital program called “In Conversation with Merce,” co-produced by the Merce Cunningham Trust and Baryshnikov Arts. Jamie Scott, a former member of the Cunningham company, was engaged by the Trust to make a duet arrangement of material from Landrover for Jacquelin Harris and Chalvar Monteiro, and choreographers Gerring and Abraham were each commissioned by Baryshnikov Arts to make a duet in response.
Now, on the Leir Stage, these three duets will be seen together in live performance for the first time, in a program honoring Merce Cunningham’s enduring legacy and his more than 50-year relationship with the Pillow.
