"The boundaries between dance, artwork, installation and performance are subtly blurred...every sculptural position suggests unverifiable meaning...The quality of the darkening light is as beautiful as a painting, but the effect - the music, the spatial emptiness - is pure theater."
- Roslyn Sulcas, The New York Times (on GLORIA)
"In 'Solo,' the choreographer Maria Hassabi picks up where 'Gloria,' her duet from 2007, left off. Along with the faint hum of traffic and footsteps, there is a similar, Minimalist aesthetic of a sleek, athletic body at work. As Ms. Hassabi, coolly sensual, shifts from one position to the next, she continues to forge a choreographic path in which desire is honed and carefully siphoned off until all that remains are stark edges."
- Gia Kourlas, The New York Times
Dear Friend,
You last saw Maria Hassabi at Performance Space 122 in 2007 when GLORIA premiered to sold out houses.
This season she premieres a dance diptych:
Solo playing now through Sunday and SoloShow coming in November.
We recommend taking advantage of the Solo & SoloShow Package (for only $30)
so that you can experience both genre-defying and transformative works.
And we should add that Solo has been playing to sold-out houses nightly and seating is very limited. Single tickets for Solo are still available
