Off-Broadway's HERE has announced the lineup of productions for its 2024-2025 season. The new season is the company's final under Emeritus Founding Artistic Director Kristin Marting, and the first to be guided by newly appointed co-directors Jesse Cameron Alick, Annalisa Dias, Lanxing Fu, and Lauren Miller.
The season will open with the world premiere of A Meal, a multi-sensorial live performance by Ximena Garnica and Shige Moriya. Performances will run September 10-29. A Meal explores our deep connection with food—where it comes from, what we eat, and who we share it with.
The new opera Eat the Document will be next in the season, premiering January 9-17, 2025. The production's creative team includes composer John Glover, librettist Kelley Rourke, director Kristin Marting, and music director Mila Henry. Based on the novel by Dana Spiotta, Eat the Document unfolds in the wake of a radical protest gone wrong.
Also in spring 2025, HERE will present [Untitled Miniature], created and performed by Joshua William Gelb and his company Theater in Quarantine. The hybrid production, which will also be live-streamed, will be performed entirely from a box measuring only 34” wide by 19” tall.
From April 22-May 17, 2025, HERE will present Pulitzer Prize finalist Shayok Misha Chowdhury (Public Obscenities)'s new play Rheology, a co-production with The Bushwick Starr and Ma-Yi Theater Company. The performance memoir is created and performed with Chowdhury's mother, physicist Bulbul Chakraborty.
The season will also include Puppet Parlor, Dream Music Puppetry’s annual celebration of new puppetry shorts, which is curated and hosted by Basil Twist and presented December 17-18; the 12th annual Prototype opera and music-theatre festival, which is co-curated and co-produced with Beth Morrison Projects and presented January 9-19, 2025; and the fourth annual Puppetopia festival of new puppetry, presented April 30-May 11.
In addition to in-person performances, HERE will offer accessible programming on its new virtual platform, URHERE, throughout the season.
