Performance Space 122

We are sorry to announce that due to a severe injury sustained by one of the dancers on opening night, the remaining performances of Le Petit Mort must be cancelled. Please note: a full run of the show will be presented in Spring 2007. Regarding your tickets: we encourage you to support the company and if possible, hold onto your tickets for the Spring presentation; you will be contacted as soon as the dates are finalized in order to reschedule your reservation. You may also wish to consider exchanging your tickets to the upcoming dance next week,
3 Minutes of Pork and Shoving, by Scott Heron and Hijack. Of course, if these options are not convenient for you, we will arrange a refund accordingly. Please email the Box Office at boxoffice@ps122.org or call them at 212-477-5288 and they will assist you. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Zustiak's world is full of "striving, sweating bodies, but beyond what they actually do lies another, more enigmatic kind of "doing.""
-Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice

Choreographer Pavel Zustiak teams up with famed video artist Tal Yarden exposing postmortem ecstasy somewhere between a dream and a memory entitled Le Petit Mort. Raw, unsettling, emotionally charged images ask questions that are ultimately unanswerable - questions of the matters of the end. Scenes of disquieting stillness and agitation, haunting traces of life past living, will leave a residue that can't be washed off.
