Monkey Off My Back or The Cat’s Meow Tickets

Acclaimed choreographer, dancer, and Guggenheim fellow Trajal Harrell has made a name for himself as one of the most important creators working today by generating captivating hybrid works rooted in art and dance history that reimagine our pasts and create spaces for different eras and philosophies to converge. By deftly interfacing the glorious pageantry and elaborate flourishes of the New York voguing scene and the guttural passion of the Japanese dance form butoh with modern and post-modern dance vocabulary, he has created a signature style that is both transcultural and futuristic with wide-ranging references and humor. The internationally admired and respected artist comes to the Armory for the North American premiere of his latest creation that lies at the intersection of dance, theater, history, fashion, and music.
