For tickets to the world premiere at Works & Process at the Guggenheim on March 26 visit: https://gu.gg/3q7agJy
This performance is co-presented by La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club.
-
A shrine of music, image, objects, and text, "Rose" brings together a team of queer artists, including composers and musicians Emily Bate, Daniel de Jesús, Pax Ressler, and Be Steadwell with director Mary Tuomanen, to tell the legend of John Jarboe and Rose. Jarboe, known as the founding artistic director of the The Bearded Ladies Cabaret, explores this tale through musical styles ranging from art song to 1980s pop ballad, elaborate floral-inspired costumes made by Rebecca Kanach, intimate storytelling, and a feast of wordplay. This evening will feature a concert of original songs performed by a live band and set alongside a garden of images made with filmmaker Christopher Ash. After this event, the project will continue to evolve into films and an art installation in which fellow genderqueers can nourish their own idiosyncratic identities.
-
The work was performed on June 20, 2021 at Works & Process in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum rotunda, before the world premiere on March 26, 2022 in the Peter B. Lewis Theater. Following the world premiere, the concert experience of "Rose" can be seen at CulturalDC's Source Theatre on April 1-2. Over the next 18 months, CulturalDC will work with Jarboe to realize the evolution of "Rose" into an immersive, multidisciplinary installation.
