The evening's program will include scenes from Berlioz's La Damnation de Faust, Meyerbeer's Robert le Diable, Gounod's Faust, Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann, Hervé's Le Petit Faust, and Massenet's Grisélidis.

Palissimo Blind Spot
Pavel Zustiak, the 2007 recipient of The Princess Grace Award in Choreography, reprises the acclaimed Blind Spot at Performance Space 122 and creates a world where that which is no longer seen, heard, nor felt reoccurs as an unwelcome guest. Numb senses retrieve their former abilities and experience the world as if for the first - or last - time.

Liza Lentini The Euthanasist
The Euthanasist explores the nature of care giving, devotion and losing one's self in a self-imposed torture of the day to day. Through her diarized testimonial, alongside multi-channeled images, the landscape of one woman's rationale is revealed as she questions her relationship to living and others' desire to die. Told to us compellingly by the mysterious Euthanasist, this theatrical event is certain to stir and provoke.
