TICKETS + INFORMATION

When Ping Chong broke through 50 years ago with Lazarus(about the New Testament resurrected character reappearing in then-contemporary New York), nobody else was doing the kind of imagistic multi-media theater that he was (at least not nearly as seamlessly and well). Now, the rest of experimental theater has caught up with him, so that while he’s still extraordinary, he’s no longer unique: the fate of an originator. It’ll be more than interesting to see Chong revisit his breakout piece half a century on, bringing it into the present. A must.
