WELCOME In 2017, Park Avenue Armory celebrates 10 years as New York’s newest cultural institution. The mission of our not-for-profit entity is to support unconventional works in the performing and visual arts that cannot be performed in a traditional proscenium theater, concert hall, or white wall gallery. With its soaring, column-free, 55,000-square-foot Drill Hall and its Gilded Age period rooms, the Armory enables artists to create, students to explore, and audiences to experience, epic and adventurous work that cannot be done elsewhere in New York. The Armory’s evolution as a major provider of unexpected, immersive, and eclectic cultural productions began as an experiment. It has now become a fixture in the cultural life of New York. Perhaps The New York Times said it best in 2016 when they proclaimed: “…few cultural institutions have been as adept at pushing the cultural FOMO button, triggering that ‘fear of missing out’ that New Yorkers hate.” On behalf of Artistic Director Pierre Audi and the Board of Directors of the Armory, we hope that 2017 continues to push the boundaries even further. Rebecca Robertson President & Executive Producer, Park Avenue Armory
When Eugene O’Neill’s The Hairy Ape opened on Broadway in 1922, it broke the rules with subject matter that was revolutionary for its time. Detailing the story of a man who puts his faith in a system that ultimately betrays him, this expressionist play highlighted struggles of class and identity that theater-goers had never before seen play out on stage. I am thrilled to welcome my dear friend Richard Jones and his brilliant collaborators Stewart Laing, Aletta Collins, Mimi Jordan Sherin, and Sarah Angliss to the Armory to showcase a 21st-century take on the theatricality O’Neill was trying to find, blending a political message with humor. Richard’s radical reimaging of the production he originally conceived for the Old Vic in London masterfully incorporates the industrial values of our building in a site-specific realization that better serves the play and connects it to the subject matter and its locations like never before. The Armory is thrilled to have made this production possible, and I hope you will join me in this marvelous rediscovery. We welcome the creative team and this new American cast led by Bobby Cannavale to present their unique artistry in our building. Productions such as this one showcase the power of a space like ours, and what can be done with this vast, blank canvas in the hands of world class artists and creators. Pierre Audi Artistic Director

REDEFINING THE SYSTEM: ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR THE HAIRY APE The Hairy Ape might be viewed as Eugene O’Neill’s declaration of the perils inherent to the unrelenting current of industrialization. In this play, we see the inner workings of systems of class and power, and in its characters, we experience what it means to “belong” as a functional member of those systems and what can happen when one’s perception of that belonging shifts. Written in 1922, the play sheds a light on the systems – both mechanical and metaphorical – that seem to permeate our lives even in the present day. Here now is a look at the systems of Park Avenue Armory’s arts education program in the context of The Hairy Ape. The creative process is the central motor of the Armory’s system of arts education and so working directly with artists is a key component across each of the three initiatives of the program: production-based programming, partner schools, and Youth Corps. All of these initiatives are offered exclusively to New York City public schools at no cost, and all were engaged in exploration of The Hairy Ape. Education personnel met with director Richard Jones to discuss the production – its concept, themes, and design – to drive the development of curriculum for all programs. The Armory’s production-based program includes an inschool, pre-show workshop, attendance at a student-only matinee, and an in-school post-show workshop. In the pre-show workshop, Armory teaching artists introduced students to the world of the play by highlighting the characters, the language, and the design of this production. Through the creation of abstract expressionist tableaux, students delved into themes of the play – class, status, and belonging – and were able to experience the student matinee with this as a critical lens. In post-show workshops, studentsused a second art form – dance, visual art, or music – to create a response to The Hairy Ape and in contemplation of the systems that exist within the pursuit of the American Dream. The Armory’s partner school program features the opportunity to attend all Armory productions, a long-term teaching artist-led residency tailored to a school’s curriculum, and the culminating Partner School Evening of the Arts at
the Armory, where students’ art is exhibited and performed alongside the work of a major artistic program for students, parents, and the entire school community. Over the course of twelve sessions, high school students at one partner school investigated the question, “how does the way that society characterizes you affect your American Experience?,” After writing accounts of their own personal identity in the system, students worked with an Armory teaching artist to create works in movement that respond to this question and to The Hairy Ape. These pieces will premiere at the Partner School Evening of the Arts in May. The Youth Corps provides paid, mentored internships for New York City public high school students. Interns work directly with and support artists, assist in the creation of curriculum by offering feedback to teaching artists, function as ushers and greeters for all Armory productions, and complete a term project. The spring term project focused on American playwrights and the working class by exploring The Hairy Ape and Armory artistin-residence Lynn Nottage’s Sweat. Reflecting on the systems and cycles that underpin life for a young person in contemporary America, and influenced by their observation of the scenic build and meetings with the creative team of The Hairy Ape, Youth Corps interns created clock-inspired, mechanical art objects, with elements that physically act upon one another to illustrate the interconnectivity of moving parts within a system. Like the systems we see in this production of The Hairy Ape, the three initiatives of the Armory’s arts education program work in tandem with each other. The lofty goal of this operation, however, is that in grappling with artistic programs like The Hairy Ape, participants in the Armory’s arts education system—unlike Yank— are able to gain a deep understanding of themselves as individuals capable of reimagining and redefining their role in all the systems of our time.
Park Avenue Armory’s arts education programs are supported by generous grants from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation, The Pershing Square Foundation, the Zelnick/Belzberg Charitable Trust, the Hearst Foundations, The Reed Foundation, Mr. and Mrs. Mikel Halvorson, Lester and Enid Morse, the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, the WME Foundation, the Ida and William Rosenthal Foundation, the Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation, and the Michael Tuch Foundation. Additional support has been provided by members of the Armory’s Education Committee. The Armory’s arts education programs are also made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, and are supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the city council.

EUGENE O’NEILL’S THE HAIRY APE: A CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH THE SUPER-NATURAL BY ROBERT M. DOWLING
March 9, 1922, New York City: After the final curtain had fallen on the premiere of The Hairy Ape at the Provincetown Playhouse, a cramped theater space in the heart of Greenwich Village, the audience leapt to its feet. Louis Wolheim, who played the antihero Robert “Yank” Smith, received a deafening ovation, and the packed auditorium then echoed with cries of “Author! Author!” Their shouts carried on after the house lights went up; but once it became clear that the “author” wouldn’t be appearing, everyone slowly headed for the exit, still eagerly glancing over their shoulders for a potential last-minute, delayed entrance by playwright Eugene O’Neill. A glowing New York Times review was printed the next morning, in which the theater’s auditorium was described as “packed to the doors with astonishment… as scene after scene unfolded.” Though the Times’ critic, Alexander Woollcott, contended that O’Neill’s script was “uneven,” he nonetheless acknowledged that “it seems rather absurd to fret overmuch about the undisciplined imagination of a young playwright towering so conspicuously above the milling mumbling crowd of playwrights who have no imagination at all.” O’Neill’s mélange of dialect writing, his melding of dramatic techniques, and his terrifying indictment of the industrial world arguably made The Hairy Ape the most revolutionary American play yet performed on a stage. The Hairy Ape, his friend and future producer Kenneth Macgowan breathlessly declared after attending its opening, “leaps out at you from the future.” When the thirty-three year old playwright first read his script to the Provincetown Players, the avant-garde “little 4

theater” company who’d discovered his talent back in 1916, he did so without theatricality or embellishment. But after slowly muttering the last lines, he stood up, faced the assembly and shouted, “This is one the bastards [uptown on Broadway] can’t do!” Stunned by the play’s bold originality, the Players all cheered in agreement. Of course they soon realized that the commercial “bastards” would, inevitably, produce the play. And when it opened on April 17, 1922, at the Plymouth Theatre on Broadway, O’Neill’s name shone upon the marquee in electric lights as a heady draw for uptown theatergoers. This fact alone was an extraordinary leap for an American playwright—the marquee was where the star’s name went, never the playwright’s. Broadway plays had nearly always been written and produced with moneymaking stars in mind, and their authors were principally viewed as hired guns rather than artists. The Hairy Ape builds upon the thematic structure of O’Neill’s pioneering “race play” The Emperor Jones, which also enjoyed a popular run on Broadway after its 1920 downtown premiere. Each takes place over eight scenes, during which the protagonists are incrementally stripped of their grandiose delusions. Of the two, however, The Hairy Ape notably contains a more all-inclusive catalogue of O’Neill’s grievances against the unstoppable tide of human “progress”—class conflict, materialism, alienation from the self and society, dehumanization, and disillusionment. “I have tried to dig deep in it,” O’Neill said of his newest achievement, “to probe in the shadows of the soul of man bewildered by the disharmony of his primitive pride and individualism at war with the mechanistic development of society.” The Hairy Ape was bestowed rave notices after both the Greenwich Village and Broadway productions, yet much of the after-hours barroom chatter revolved around the play’s uncertain style and its origins. New York’s drama critics had vaguely heard of European expressionism, but not many had actually witnessed it aside from O’Neill’s The Emperor Jones (which few at the time identified as expressionism) and the Hungarian Ferenc Molnár’s Liliom (1909), a play just translated and then produced by New York’s Theatre Guild the previous summer. (In 1945, Liliom returned to Broadway as Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical adaptation Carousel. Even after The Emperor Jones, O’Neill was still largely identified with his naturalistic dramas based on life at sea, which as a young man he’d experienced firsthand. The Pulitzer Prize was awarded to O’Neill’s naturalistic sea play “Anna Christie” in the same year The Hairy Ape appeared, and two years earlier he’d won his first Pulitzer for Beyond the Horizon, also a work of naturalism. The school of literary naturalism is a grittier form of realism (the two terms are often mistakenly interchanged), which believably renders the philosophy that an individual’s
fate is determined by biological, historical, circumstantial, and psychological forces beyond their control. But by the 1920s, O’Neill had found naturalism too limiting for his imaginative scope. “Naturalism is too easy,” he said in 1924. “It would, for instance, be a perfect cinch to go on writing Anna Christies all my life. I could always be sure to pay the rent then… Shoving a lot of human beings on a stage and letting them say the identical things in a theatre they would say in a drawing room or a saloon does not necessarily make for naturalness. It’s what those men and women do not say that usually is most interesting.” Hence his adoption, or semi-conscious appropriation, of Expressionism, a method that originated with Central and Northern European dramatists such as Molnár, Germany’s Frank Wedekind, and Sweden’s August Strindberg (O’Neill’s self-styled mentor). Expressionist plays depict grotesque exaggerations of character and setting in order to represent distorted psychological states.Also unlike naturalistic plays, they “express” inner conflict through fantastical staging: “King Lear is given a storm to rant in,” one of the Provincetown Players explained, whereas “the Expressionist hero in anger walks on a street, and all the perspectives of the walls, windows and doors are awry and tortured.” O’Neill’s true innovation, though, was to combine the two. “It isn’t Expressionism,” he remarked of The Hairy Ape. “It isn’t Naturalism. It is a blend—and, as far as my knowledge goes—a uniquely successful one.” (He nevertheless instructed that the set designs “must be in the Expressionistic method.”) It was this merger, what he later termed “super-naturalism,” that would prove to have the longest lasting impact on theater history. Throughout what O’Neill called the “Mad Twenties,” he kept working in this style with plays like All God’s Chillun Got Wings (1923), Desire Under the Elms (1924), The Great God Brown (1925), and Strange Interlude (1927), which won him a third Pulitzer. The Hairy Ape thus signaled O’Neill’s complete transformation from an unruly naturalist to one of the consummate avant-garde modernists of the 1920s, and ultimately led to his becoming, in 1936, a Nobel laureate. As late as 1946, after O’Neill’s writing career was cut short by an incapacitating, ultimately fatal neurological disease, a reporter asked him which of his plays he “liked the best.” He responded that this was really two questions: which play he liked the best and which he thought was the best. For the second question, he hedged a bit, but named The Iceman Cometh (its Broadway premiere was about to open). For the first, O’Neill was unequivocal: “I like The Hairy Ape.” —Robert M. Dowling is the author of the biography Eugene O’Neill: A Life in Four Acts, which was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography in 2014.

ABOUT THE ARMORY Part American palace, part industrial shed, Park Avenue Armory is dedicated to supporting unconventional works in the visual and performing arts that need non-traditional spaces for their full realization, enabling artists to create, students to explore, and audiences to consume epic and adventurous presentations that can not be mounted elsewhere in New York City. Since its first production in September 2007, the Armory has organized and commissioned immersive performances, installations, and cross-disciplinary collaborations by visionary artists, directors, and impresarios in its vast drill hall that defy traditional categorization and to push the boundaries of their practice. In its historic period rooms, the Armory presents small-scale performances and programs, including its acclaimed Recital Series in the intimate salon setting of the Board of Officers Room and the Artists Studio series in the newly restored Veterans Room. The Armory also offers robust arts education programs at no cost to underserved New York City public school students, engaging them with the institution’s artistic programming and the building’s history and architecture. Built between 1877 and 1881, Park Avenue Armory has been hailed as containing “the single most important collection of nineteenth century interiors to survive intact in one building” by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. The 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall, with an 80-foot-high barrel vaulted roof, is one of the largest unobstructed spaces in New York City. The Armory’s magnificent reception rooms were designed by leaders of the American Aesthetic Movement, among them Louis Comfort Tiffany, Stanford White, Candace Wheeler, and Herter Brothers. The building is currently undergoing a $210-million renovation designed by Herzog & de Meuron and Platt Byard Dovell White Architects as Executive Architects.

MAY 18–21
“…[a] searing example of dance as protest” — The Boston Globe FLEXN testifies and bears witness to a surging movement in America that will not be turned back and cannot be ignored. With power, grace, soul, and sheer exhilaration, love and justice are explored in a variety of electrifying flex dance techniques and powerful personal narratives. After dazzling audiences in 2015, this thrilling group of dance innovators returns to the Armory with directors Reggie “Regg Roc” Gray and Peter Sellars for an evolved version of their original production that showcases the unquenchable energy and blazing focus of this contemporary dance form.

“[Herzog & de Meuron] are always dedicated to enlarging experience where others would flatten it… They are champions of nuance” — Architectural Review “…it is the essence of Ai’s activism:…work that unleashes the political power of art.” — The Guardian (UK) In a new commission that is both object and environment, this spectacular installation by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron with artist/ activist Ai Weiwei explores the meaning of public space in our surveillance-laden world, referencing the story of Hansel and Gretel in which the children lose their way and feel a sense of menace in a space they know and trust.

RÉPONS OCTOBER 6–7
“It’s gritty and rigorous, but also sumptuous and fanciful– the sheer visceral excitement of being caught in the middle was like nothing else in music.” — The New York Times Rarely staged in concert halls given its unconventional configuration of the space, Pierre Boulez’s spatial masterwork is written for and realized at the Armory by Ensemble intercontemporain and conductor Matthias Pintscher, who perform this emblematic work twice in succession each evening, with the audience changing seats in between to gain a new sonic perspective. This remarkable presentation marks the first performance in New York of a major work by Boulez since his death in early 2016.
KANATA DECEMBER 5–19
“Known as the alchemist of modern imagistic theatre, Robert Lepage is one of the most challenging and chimeric directors of our time.” — The Guardian (UK) Director, playwright, and actor Robert Lepage melds his creative vision with the legendary theater ensemble Le Théâtre du Soleil, marking the first time that its founder Ariane Mnouchkine has invited an outside director to work with her troupe, for an epic new work commissioned by the Armory that explores the treatment of the indigenous people of Canada. Making its world premiere, this three-part theater piece combines deeply personal stories and collective memory to find a shared humanity.
Based on the life and work of South African poet Ingrid Jonker, this groundbreaking work by innovative composer and creator Michel van der Aa combines live action, innovative techniques 14
