Both shows:
$35, $30 (students/seniors), $20 (PS122 and FIAF members)

Jo Strømgren Kompani The Society
"The Jo Strømgren Kompani has never appeared in New York City. It is time it came."
-Jennifer Dunning, New York Times
As a Society of sworn coffee drinkers gathers for their daily ritual the harmony is broken by a horrific incident: the discovery of a used tea bag. The main object on stage is a coffee machine; the isolated conflict between drinkers of coffee and tea in a micro-world is open for interpretation.
