Euphoria

EUPHORIA

BY JULIAN ROSEFELDT

Following the premiere of Manifesto, which was so well received by audiences and critics alike at the Armory and around the world, we are thrilled to commission this bold new work by Julian Rosefeldt for the Wade Thompson Drill Hall. Julian’s latest film installation represents a milestone moment in his illustrious career, as he delves into longstanding motifs central to his practice in a meditation on capitalism and economic theory.

Julian’s practice is centered on his exploration of his own curiosity, developing the script for Euphoria through reading, researching, and writing over several years with dramaturg Tobias Staab. In much the same style as his earlier works, Euphoria extracts text fragments from major authors in economic, philosophical, political, and contemporary cultural arenas and juxtaposes them with each other in modern environments from the mouths of marginalized characters. The resulting script frees the texts from their sources, allowing for a new level of awareness and examination of the ongoing euphoric, unlimited consumption binge and its effects inherent in our current quest for never ending economic growth.

Julian also draws on jazz music as a way to intensify the experience of this continual growth. Renowned jazz drummers Eric Harland, Terri Lyne Carrington, Yissy Garcia, Antonio Sanchez, and Peter Erskine become not only the film’s accompaniment, but also the churn of a factory line, the rise and fall of the stock market, the chaotic buzz of New York City, or even the very machine of our economy. New York’s very own Brooklyn Youth Chorus add a thrilling voice to this economic rhythm and serve as a new version of a Greek chorus performing music composed by Samy Moussa in this cinematic and immersive film masterpiece.

The Armory is committed to providing artists with the creative and physical space to push the boundaries of their practice and provide relevant, thought-provoking interrogations of timely issues. Julian does just this, creating a thought-provoking critique of our consumer society, a contemplation on capitalism, colonialism, and the influential effects of unlimited economic growth in society, and a moment to reflect on the ways in which the creation of wealth has supplanted humanity’s most valuable creation – art.

Much of Euphoria was filmed here in New York City as well as in Kyiv, Ukraine. Filming was cut short in Kyiv due to the Russian invasion that began in February 2022, and the brilliant production team quickly secured other locations in Europe and the United States and moved personnel out of harm’s way to keep filming safely. The Armory would like to dedicate the premiere of Euphoria to the people of Ukraine. We embrace and think of Julian’s team of artists, crews, and staff who are featured throughout the installation, and hope they remain safe and ultimately reunited with their families and loved ones.

We are proud as an institution to bring Julian’s visionary and unflinching eye to Armory audiences.

CAPITALISM’S HIDDEN CODE

Like organisms, capitalism has an outer shell, an inner life, and a hidden code. Its outer shell is the glitz: The images of illuminated cities at night, the skyscrapers, the stock market ticker, the mansions, the private jets. Its inner life is all the hustle and bustle in the streets, offices, schools and homes, the love stories, the heroes and villains, the celebrities and those who failed to make it. It resembles a classic Greek drama that has been adapted to modern times.

Hidden from sight is the code that holds it all together, the outer shell, the inner life, and everything in between. It programs the production of capital and the parts for the players in this drama: for the investors, corporations, the financial assets they issue, but also for the chorus of laborers and consumers that are indispensable for the play but must be kept at bay.

Some personages appear in their natural state, but the most powerful adopt the form of a legal persons. As artificial creatures, they have an infinite lifespan and don’t die naturally, but must be actively liquidated. They can grow and expand, merge and spin-off, invest or exchange their owners’ shares for cash – all without having to fear a stroke or heart attack, much less to watch their waistline. Indeed, their obesity is celebrated by their shareholders.

The code of capital comprises of modules made of law rather than acids as in the case of the genetic code. Property rights, collateral law, corporate, trust, contract, and bankruptcy law are its most important modules. Many are older than the capitalist system they begot and sustain, but have been adapted to sustain it.

The modules are used to turn goods, promises, or ideas into capital by programming the relation between the holders of capital and the rest. Some, according to the code, have stronger, others weaker rights, and yet others no rights at all. Whenever two rights collide, the stronger one wins while haircuts await the rest.

Apart from priority, the code also configures the durability of assets to ensure that they can incubate and grow undisturbed by too many creditors. A common technique is the coding of a separate legal entity to which some of the owner’s assets are transferred. Because the code treats legal entities as separate from their owners, indeed, as owners in their own right, this bars the owners’ creditors from accessing its assets.

Not all assets benefit from incubation, however. Some are too fickle to keep them in one place for too long. They must be traded and exchanged constantly, which exposes them to the risk of sudden loss in value. Their owners don’t need durability, but convertibility, or an option to swap riskier for safer assets, and preferably dollars, whenever

the sailing gets rough. Sometimes other market participants will offer a lifeline, but in the last instance only the central can offer relief. The large financial markets become, the greater the role of central banks as underwriters of financial assets, and the greater the profits for financial asset holders.

The most powerful coding algorithm of all, however, is universality. It ensures that the rights and powers the code creates will be upheld against anyone whether they knew about the code, have met the asset’s owners, or were at the table when they were coded as capital. The code binds them all and threatens to mobilize the state’s power of coercion against violators.

Whereas the genetic code is a gift of nature, capitalism’s legal code is man-made. Every one of the code’s modules has been carefully crafted and is constantly adapted to fit new assets or create new entities. Who owns the code? No one in particular. The code is part of the legal order, but it is not controlled by the legislatures or the courts. They get to sanction it from time to time, or if bold enough, will amend a module or repeal a pernicious coding strategy. But they get involved only sporadically and when they do are often too afraid to rock the boat.

The true masters of the code are the lawyers. They know how to read the code; they know what courts and regulators like or dislike, know or don’t know; they know how to combine not only different coding strategies, but codes from different legal systems to fashion more capital. Like the code itself they operate mostly out of sight, behind the illuminated windows of the global cities. The lawyers may not construct the skyscrapers, but they facilitate their use as resting places or laundromats for global capital. They don’t operate the stock markets, but there is not a single asset that is traded on them that has not crossed their desk. They don’t make all law, but they code capital.

THE GLITTERING PRIZE

The engine of consumer society is discontent. Though oddly counter-intuitive, this claim is not a rhetorical proposition. It’s an uncomfortable reality. The structural basis for consumer capitalism is not happiness, but unhappiness.

The root of this conundrum lies in novelty. Innovation is vital to capitalism. The successful entrepreneur is continually engaged in throwing over the old in favor of the new. This constant craving to find new markets and new products to fill them with is what keeps economic growth going. The economist Joseph Schumpeter called this process creative destruction . Novelty drives the beating heart of capitalism.

For this to work, of course, we need willing consumers. People who love new stuff. The endless parade of sexy new toys. The shiny new baubles. The glitter and the bling. Novelty must occupy a pivotal place in the human heart.

So it’s rather fortunate that it does. Novelty signifies status and power. It shows that we belong. It shows that we are different. Novelty signals hope. It holds out the promise of a brighter and shinier world for us and for our children. The human psyche thrives on this promise.

And if we’re ever tempted to forget it, then a host of marketers are there to remind us. The Madmen of the post-war years have cast us all as restless, insatiable consumers. Their latter-day mimics pursue our every move with algorithm-driven marketing, promising unrivalled happiness – so long as we continue to shop.

We know it isn’t real. But the lure is irresistible. Like kids in the candy store, we spend money we don’t have on things we don’t need to create impressions that won’t last on people we don’t love. And the planet reels from our indulgences.

Consumerism’s most glittering prize is the promise of immortality itself: an earthly paradise of never wanting, never needing, never lacking for anything the imagination can dream of. “The human animal is a beast that dies. And if he’s got money, he buys and buys and buys,” says Big Daddy in Tennessee Williams’ play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. “And I think the reason he buys everything he can is that in the back of his mind is the crazy hope that one of his purchases will be life everlasting.”

Suddenly, we find ourselves in the grip of a terrifying social logic. What seemed accidental became existential. The restless desire of the consumer is the perfect companion for relentless innovation of the entrepreneur. Economic structure on the one hand and human psyche on the other bind us into an “iron cage” of consumerism.

At one level it works. These are the forces that drive the economy forwards. But they conceal a dark abyss.

The first crack in the shiny surface appears with the realization that what codes for novelty is rooted in anxiety. Adam Smith called this anxiety the desire to live “a life without shame.” Shame magnifies consumer needs. And knowing this, the marketers play on it. “What does your car, you holiday, your laptop... your toilet roll say about you?” they ask in ever more beguiling ways.

These shame-defying goods were once fewer in number. A simple linen shirt, for example, when Smith was writing, “the want of which would be supposed to denote that disgraceful degree of poverty, which, it is presumed, nobody can well fall into without extreme bad conduct.” Nowadays, our must-have list has expanded massively. It has to – for the system to work. Fast cars, fast food, fast sex, fast fashion. If we ever stop coveting the fruits of desire, the economy starts to fail. Unemployment rises. Instability beckons.

And this is precisely why anxiety must tip over into outright dissatisfaction if capitalism is to survive. Consumerism must promise paradise. But it must systematically fail to deliver. Not occasionally. Not accidentally. But repeatedly. Systematically. Endlessly invoking euphoria. Relentlessly delivering disillusion. The success of consumer society lies not in meeting our needs but in its spectacular ability continually to disappoint us.

This may seem like a dark and hopeless conclusion. It doesn’t have to be. Novelty matters, yes. But capitalism is a social construct. Consumerism is a faithless dream sold to us by the architects of chaos intent only on the accumulation of profit. A pantomime villain in a dystopian story. No more real than the tooth fairy. A historical cul-de-sac that has led us perilously close to ecological disaster. But whose lessons may still save us.

To recognize this is to loosen the chains that bind us to a dysfunctional prison of our own making. From here we can begin to understand why capitalism must eventually fall. And how to replace it.

“History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived,” wrote the poet Maya Angelou. “But if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”

A MASTERCLASS IN ARTISTIC STORYTELLING

The presence of young people is impossible to ignore in Julian Rosefeldt’s Euphoria. From the surrounding specters of the Brooklyn Youth Chorus fulfilling the ancient duty of the Greek chorus to both mimic and judge to the vignette of teenagers on the main screen convinced through a combination of naivete and bravery that they know a better way, Euphoria implicitly demands that its audience not ignore how their actions and inactions impact future generations. It is therefore fitting that all three initiatives of the Armory’s Arts Education program, offered at no cost to underserved New York City public schools, are engaging with the themes and form of Euphoria , exploring and responding to Rosefeldt’s creative process.

Students participating in Production-Based Programming workshops —which invite school groups to experience the unconventional works of music, theater, dance, and visual arts in the Wade Thompson Drill Hall and historic rooms in conjunction with workshops co-facilitated by multi-disciplinary Teaching Artists—experience Euphoria during student-only viewing hours offered throughout the month of December. Workshops grounded in different disciplinary lenses respond to Euphoria ’s call to action, offering over 1,000 students the opportunity to creatively express their individual ideas for different ways forward and contribute to a collective student installation reflecting on the impact of capitalism on their own lives.

Three schools from the Armory’s Partner School Program—which offers long-term, customized residencies that support school curriculum and community goals at eight current partner schools— have chosen to integrate Euphoria into their fall semesters. The extensive research practice that jumpstarts Rosefeldt’s creative process offers seniors from Williamsburg High School for Architecture and Design another lens through which they can view their English Language Arts research paper unit. The stunning visual approach to storytelling that is a hallmark of Rosefeldt’s work, and Euphoria in particular, inspires 9th and 10th graders at Claremont International High School as they study principles of art and apply those principles

to storytelling through visual art projects of their own. 10th graders at Bronx Compass High School, the Armory’s newest partner school, relate the themes of their English Language Arts curriculum to Euphoria , exploring hierarchy within systems and envisioning a new world order through the collaborative creation of music.

The Armory’s Youth Corps Program offers paid and closely mentored internship programs for students ages 16-25+. In one example of these programs, the juniors and seniors of the Armory’s newest Youth Corps cohort (the first in-person high school group since March 2020) are investigating how Rosefeldt’s collisions of text, environment, and character, created through the gathering together of disparate texts and sources, allow audiences to be drawn in by what they find familiar, while simultaneously giving them the freedom of individual interpretation through the tension that arises from the elements that are unfamiliar. These investigations, including a meeting with the artist himself, culminate in students’ own artistic gatherings exploring a social issue they feel is vital to address.

All of the Armory’s Arts Education initiatives center artistic expression as an important avenue to confront, reflect upon, and address the modern world, and encourage young people to view both the experience and creation of art as a way to add their valuable insights and truths to the conversation. Rosefeldt’s recognition that their voices are a vital part of this conversation is evident in both his artwork and his ongoing support of and participation in the Armory’s Arts Education Programs. Euphoria , like Manifesto before it, uses a medium that students are intimately connected with (a screen) but presents it in a form (installation) that might be new, and that urges the viewer to take their place as part of the story. Euphoria is a masterclass in artistic storytelling for many reasons, but especially because it invites audiences of all ages to be a part of the next gathering of voices: Be your voice pointed or absurd, hopeful or pragmatic, youthful or wizened, what’s important is to speak up.

ABOUT PARK AVENUE ARMORY

Part palace, part industrial shed, Park Avenue Armory fills a critical void in the cultural ecology of New York, supporting unconventional works in the performing and visual arts that cannot be fully realized in a traditional proscenium theater, concert hall, or white wall gallery. With its soaring 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall and an array of exuberant period rooms, the Armory enables a diverse range of artists to create, students to explore, and audiences to experience epic, adventurous, relevant work that cannot be done elsewhere in New York.

Programmatic highlights from the Wade Thompson Drill Hall include Ernesto Neto’s anthropodino, a magical labyrinth extended across the Drill Hall; Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s harrowing Die Soldaten , in which the audience moved “through the music”; the event of a thread , a site-specific installation by Ann Hamilton; the final performances of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company on three separate stages; an immersive Macbeth set in a Scottish heath with Kenneth Branagh; WS by Paul McCarthy, a monumental installation of fantasy, excess, and dystopia; a radically inclusive staging of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion staged by Peter Sellars and performed by Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker; eight-time Drama Desk-nominated play The Hairy Ape, directed by Richard Jones and starring Bobby Cannavale; Hansel & Gretel , a new commission by Ai Weiwei, Jacques Herzog, and Pierre de Meuron that explored publicly shared space in the era of surveillance; FLEXN and FLEXN Evolution , two Armory-commissioned presentations of the Brooklynborn dance activists group the D.R.E.A.M. Ring, created by Reggie (Regg Roc) Gray and director Peter Sellars; Simon Stone’s heralded production of Yerma starring Billie Piper in her North American debut; The Let Go, a site-specific immersive dance celebration by Nick Cave; Satoshi Miyagi’s stunning production of Antigone set in a lake; Sam Mendes’ critically acclaimed production of The Lehman Trilogy ; the Black Artists Retreat hosted by Theaster Gates, which included public talks and performances, private sessions for the 300 attending artists, and a roller skating rink; Deep Blue Sea by Bill T. Jones and the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Companies; The Shape of Things, a multi-work installation, convening, and performance series by Carrie Mae Weems; Rashaad Newsome’s Assembly ; the North American premiere of Michel van der Aa’s Upload featuring Julia Bullock and Roderick Williams; and the North American premieres of Robert Icke’s Hamlet and Oresteia , played in repertory and starring Alex Lawther, Jennifer Ehle, and Anastasia Hille. Productions in the Armory’s Social Distance Hall included works by Bill T. Jones; David Byrne, Christine Jones, and Steven Hoggett; Laurie Anderson and Jason Moran; and Robert Icke.

In its historic period rooms, the Armory presents more intimate performances and programs, including its acclaimed Recital Series, which showcases musical talent from across the globe within the intimate salon setting of the Board of Officers Room; the Artists

Studio series curated by MacArthur “Genius” and jazz phenom Jason Moran in the newly restored Veterans Room, which features a diverse array of innovative artists and artistic pairings that reflect the imaginative improvisation of the young designers and artists who originally conceived the space; and Making Space at the Armory, a public talks program that brings diverse artists and thought-leaders together for discussion and performance around the important issues of our time.

Among the performers who have appeared in the Recital Series and the Artists Studio in the Armory’s restored Veterans Room or the Board of Officers Rooms are: Christian Gerhaher; Ian Bostridge; Jason Moran; Lawrence Brownlee; Barbara Hannigan; Lisette Oropesa; Roscoe Mitchell; Conrad Tao and Tyshawn Sorey; Rashaad Newsome; and Krency Garcia (“El Prodigio”).

Highlights from the public programs include: symposiums such as Carrie Mae Weems’ day-long event called The Shape of Things , whose participants included Elizabeth Alexander, Theaster Gates, Elizabeth Diller, and Nona Hendryx; a day-long Lenape Pow Wow and Standing Ground Symposium held in the Wade Thompson Drill Hall, the first congregation of Lenape Leaders on Manhattan Island since the 1700s; salons such as the Literature Salon hosted by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, whose participants included Lynn Nottage, Suzan Lori-Parks, and Jeremy O. Harris, and a Spoken Word Salon co-hosted with the Nuyorican Poets Cafe; and most recently, 100 Years | 100 Women , a multi-organization commissioning project that invited 100 women artists and cultural creators to respond to women’s suffrage.

Current Artists-in-Residence at the Armory include two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage; Obie winner and Pulitzer short-listed playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and Carmelita Tropicana; Reggie (Regg Roc) Gray and the D.R.E.A.M. Ring; singer and composer Sara Serpa; Tony Award-winning set designer and director Christine Jones and choreographer Steven Hoggett; and Mimi Lien, the first set designer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship. The Armory also supports artists through an active commissioning program including such artists as Bill T. Jones, Lynn Nottage, Carrie Mae Weems, Michel van der Aa, Tyshawn Sorey, Rashaad Newsome, Julian Rosefeldt, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, and others.

The Armory also offers creativity-based arts education programs at no cost to thousands of underserved New York City public school students, engaging them with the institution’s artistic programming and outside-the-box creative processes.

The Armory has undertaken an ongoing $215-million renovation and restoration of its historic building designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron, with Platt Byard Dovell White as Executive Architects.

NEXT AT THE ARMORY

LOVE

February 25 – March 25, 2023

North American Premiere

Having dazzled UK audiences at the National Theatre and garnered widespread critical acclaim around the world, this engaging new play makes its North American premiere and marks the New York debut of writer and director Alexander Zeldin. This powerful piece of drama, written after a years-long process of community collaboration and immersion, personal interviews, and first-hand accounts, draws attention to the cracks in the welfare system when several families are brought together in a shelter in the lead up to Christmas. The audience is invited to step inside their reality and bear witness to some of the touching, humorous, and profoundly human instances of their combined existence. Played with the house lights up and audience members seated amongst the company, the heart-breaking production reveals the cast seeming to live rather than act. The result is an engrossing and intimate story for our times that shows rather than tells and is born out of the daily rituals of survival, highlighting the link between homelessness, mental health, and austerity politics, but also the yearning for, and power of, love.

THE DOCTOR

June 6 – August 19, 2023

North American Premiere

After amazing Armory audiences with his adaptations of Aeschylus’s Oresteia (2022), Shakespeare’s Hamlet (2022), and Ibsen’s Enemy of the People (2021), visionary director and playwright Robert Icke returns with the North American premiere of this gripping moral thriller following lauded runs at London’s Almeida Theatre and West End. This scorching examination of our age, a striking reimagining of the 1912 play Professor Bernhardi by Arthur Schnitzler, utilizes the lens of medical ethics to examine urgent questions of faith, identity, race, gender, privilege, and scientific rationality. Olivier Awardwinner Juliet Stevenson stars as the doctor at the center of the drama where nothing is quite what – or who – it seems. A galvanizing piece of theater, the production serves as a stark health warning for an increasingly divided nation, where clashing views about the way we see ourselves and the world we live in today only magnify the complexities of life.

RECITAL SERIES

Now in its tenth year, the Armory’s Recital Series has been lauded for becoming “a locus for important chamber music concerts” (The New Yorker). This season includes a highly anticipated North American recital debut, thoughtfully curated programs of lieder, art song, and contemporary works by some of today’s most exciting musical interpreters, and thrilling performances that explore signal works and take the art form in bold new directions.

UPCOMING PERFORMANCES:

Stéphane Degout & Cédric Tiberghien April 3 & 5, 2023

Renowned for the finesse and sensitivity he conveys in his interpretations, baritone Stéphane Degout has taken the opera world by storm with appearances at major opera houses and festivals around the world. He comes to the Armory to perform a program of French art songs and German lieder that offers audiences the chance to get to know the boundless technique and abundant musicality of the burnished baritone in the intimate Board of Officers Room.

Allan Clayton & James Baillieu North American Recital Debut April 27 & 29, 2023

Tenor Allan Clayton is established as one of the most exciting and sought-after singers of his generation with celebrated performances from Baroque to contemporary at opera houses around the world, including the title role in the US premiere of Hamlet at the Metropolitan Opera in spring of 2022. He makes his North American recital debut with a program of lieder as well as art and folk songs that showcase his dynamic vocal range, musical sensitivity, and magnetic stage presence.

Pavel Kolesnikov, piano May 22 & 24, 2023

Hailed as “a poet of the piano” (Bachtrack), Pavel Kolesnikov is celebrated for his imaginative, thought-provoking programming which offers the listener a fresh, often unexpected perspective on familiar pieces. He brings this inventive spirit to the Armory with two distinct programs that poetically showcase his sensitivity, musicality, and sheer mastery of the instrument. He opens his residency with one of the most challenging works for a pianist – Bach’s towering classical keyboard masterpiece, the Goldberg Variations – and then looks upward with a program of works illuminating the night sky.

Thompson Arts Center at Park Avenue Armory | 643 Park Avenue at East 67th Street

ARTISTS STUDIO

Curated by jazz pianist, composer, and MacArthur fellow Jason Moran, this series of interventions expands this season to spotlight the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, Inc. (AACM). This revolutionary collective of artists, musicians, and creators bring their unmistakable energy and boundless creativity to the Armory for a series of performances of newly composed works, workshops and open rehearsals, lectures and panels, and exhibitions of historic artifacts and photographic surveys.

UPCOMING PERFORMANCES:

Jason Moran and Henry Threadgill: AACM Listening Session Saturday, February 18, 2023

Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Henry Threadgill is joined by Artists Studio curator Jason Moran for an intimate discussion and listening session spotlighting the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians and their creative impact on American music. This insightful event explores the creative practice of some of the most forward-thinking composers and multi-instrumentalists who have been blending art forms and pushing boundaries since the collaborative’s inception more than 60 years ago.

Time Factor: Thurman Barker Quintet

Adegoke Steve Colson and Iqua Colson’s Unity Troupe with special guests Chico Freeman and Douglas R. Ewart Saturday, April 22, 2023

A versatile drummer and percussionist, Thurman Barker has performed with countless singers and artists from the worlds of classical, pop, jazz, and those that defy categorization. He performs excerpts from three of his orchestral scores – South Side Suite, Pandemic Fever, and Mr. Speed-str – on a special double bill with “musical power couple” (The New York Times) Adegoke Steve Colson and Iqua Colson and their longtime collaborators Chico Freeman and Douglas R. Ewart . The Colsons’ vast work focuses on many facets of the human experience, illuminating social issues while taking listeners inside the aesthetics of art.

MAKING SPACE AT THE ARMORY

This insightful series of cutting-edge conversations, performances, and activations – curated by professor, scholar, and curator Tavia Nyong’o – makes space for new points of view and unique perspectives from a diverse array of artists, scholars, cultural leaders, and social trailblazers. Interrogating the forms of artistic expression that challenge and inspire audiences to ‘achieve our country,’ in the words of James Baldwin, these gatherings foster the art of conversation and dialogue about Armory productions and urgent questions of our day.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

Symposium: The Future of Race in Design January 14 & 15, 2023

Join a state-of-the-art conversation about how race matters in creative design for live performance in our current moment of creative, technological, and cultural unrest. Hosted by lighting designer Jane Cox , playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, set designer Mimi Lien, and sound designer and composer Mikaal Sulaiman, this interdisciplinary forum allows artists, intellectuals, and designers to explore lighting, sound, costume, and set design, as well as augmented reality, as sites of innovation, magic, and transformation.

Salon: Juke Joint March 31 & April 1, 2023

Poet, writer, performer, and activist Pamela Sneed leads a celebration of the role of the women and femme architects of rhythm and blues and rock and roll. The multifaceted artist is joined by her band for a tribute to Big Mama Thornton and other female legends, and then leads a salon featuring a performance by singer-songwriter and playwright Stew exploring how the rebel spirit of these female innovators lives on today at the intersection of political commentary, music, and cabaret culture. Presented in celebration of Women’s Music Month as part of the Carnegie Hall Women in Music Festival.
