Oct 24, 2013/Brooklyn, NY—Joseph V. Melillo, executive producer of the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), today announced programming for the 2014 BAM Winter/Spring Season, which runs from January 7 through June 29 and features nine theater, opera, film, and dance productions. BAM Executive Producer Joseph V. Melillo said, “Our Winter/Spring Season is filled with artistic riches, including anticipated US premieres of King Lear featuring the renowned Frank Langella; the Young Vic’s acclaimed production of A Doll’s House; an exquisite stage adaptation of The Old Woman by Robert Wilson, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Willem Dafoe; and the Glyndebourne Festival Opera’s powerful production of Britten’s all-male Billy Budd. Longtime artistic colleague Isabella Rossellini’s examination of insect life moves from screen to stage in our intimate Fishman Space, and the new Steinberg Screen in the Harvey Theater provides the proscenium setting for the world premiere of Matthew Barney’s new film, River of Fundament. This season features the BAM debut of Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet in a special tenth anniversary program, and the return of France’s Lyon Opera Ballet with a premiere by Christian Rizzo. And it wouldn’t be spring without DanceAfrica, this year featuring a visiting company from Madagascar. In addition to our stage presentations, we hope you will explore our full slate of compelling cinématek, literary, humanities, and BAMart events this season.” 1
BAM President Karen Brooks Hopkins said, “We are grateful to Bloomberg for their ninth year of support of the Winter/Spring season, to Bank of America for their consistent sponsorship of BAM Theater, and to the Howard Gilman Foundation for making it possible to bring opera to the Howard Gilman Opera House. We thank our generous donors and funders, who have made BAM’s ongoing growth possible.

BAM’s Director of Production Neil Kutner and Production Supervisors Audrey Hoo and Elizabeth Moreau focus specifically on this season’s production of King Lear, featuring Frank Langella. This class is for ages 18 and up. Three-time Tony Award-winning, Oscar-nominated Broadway and film star Frank Langella plays the title role in a new production of William Shakespeare’s King Lear from Chichester Festival Theatre. Directed by Angus Jackson with set design by Robert Innes Hopkins, the production comes to the BAM Harvey Theater for a month-long, US premiere engagement following a month of performances at Chichester’s Minerva Theatre from October 31 to November 30. Langella is joined by Sebastian Armesto (Edgar), Max Bennett (Edmund), Denis Conway (Gloucester), Isabella Laughland (Cordelia), Catherine McCormack (Goneril), Harry Melling (the Fool), Lauren O’Neil (Regan), and Steven Pacey (Kent). The cast also includes Rob Heaps (France/Knight/Guard), Tom Mothersdale (Oswald), Chu Omambala (Albany), Michael Sheldon (French Commander/Servant), Parth Thakerar (Servant/Herald Messenger), Tim Treloar (Cornwall), and Alan Vicary (the Doctor). Frank Langella earned one of his three Tony Awards for his performance as Richard Nixon in the acclaimed production Frost/Nixon (Donmar Warehouse, West End, and Broadway). He was also the recipient of an Olivier Award nomination and an Oscar nomination for the same role in the film version. His additional Tonys were for roles in Seascape and Fortune’s Fool, as well as three more nominations for Man and Boy, Dracula, and Match. His more than four decades on Broadway and close to two dozen productions also include, among others, The Father, Present Laughter, A Man for All Seasons, and Amadeus. In 2013/2014 Langella will star in six films including Grace of Monaco opposite Nicole Kidman, Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Fight opposite Christopher Plummer, directed by Stephen Frears, and Draft Day opposite Kevin Costner. Among his 65 films, recent screen credits include the critically acclaimed Robot and Frank, Starting Out in the Evening, Good Night and Good Luck, Dave, and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. Chichester Associate Angus Jackson directed the 2013 Olivier Award-winning production Goodnight Mister Tom, and two Festival 2013 productions, If Only and Neville’s Island. Jackson’s other Chichester credits include The Browning Version (also West End), Bingo (also Young Vic), Wallenstein and Funny Girl. He has also directed Elmina’s Kitchen, Fix Up, Rocket to the Moon and The Power of Yes for the National Theatre. Designer Robert Innes Hopkins renews his collaboration with Jackson following their previous Chichester productions: Goodnight Mister Tom (UK tour and West End), Bingo (also Young Vic) and Wallenstein. Other credits include Clybourne Park (Royal Court Theatre and West End), The Malcontent and The Comedy of Errors (both RSC), and the National Actors Theatre production of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, which featured Al Pacino in the title role.

Green Porno: Live on Stage
New York Premiere
Conceived and performed by Isabella Rossellini Written by Isabella Rossellini and Jean-Claude Carrière Staged by Muriel Mayette BAM Fisher (Fishman Space, 321 Ashland Pl) Jan 16, 17, 18, 21-25 at 7:30pm Jan 18 & 25 at 2pm Jan 19 at 3pm Tickets: $90—100 (prices subject to change after December 1) Limited number of $30 tickets available. See BAM.org for details Talk: Green Porno with Isabella Rossellini Jan 21, post-show (free for same-day ticket holders) BAM Fisher (Fishman Space, 321 Ashland Pl) Art-house luminary Isabella Rossellini reveals the surprisingly kinky and confounding mating rituals of insects and marine life in this one-woman show, adapted from the celebrated Sundance Channel series (2008) of the same name. With day-glo costumes and paper puppets, and text by legendary French screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie), Rossellini acts out a panoply of reproductive oddities: the praying mantis that consumes its partner while copulating; the male bee who loses his penis in the act; and the shrimp, whose foreplay involves it shimmying seductively out of its shell. Part nature documentary, part DIY cartoon, Green Porno is a cheeky, delightful zoology lesson brought vividly to life by Rossellini’s singular flair for storytelling. In conjunction with Green Porno, BAMcinématek presents two special screenings on January 13 with Rossellini in person, including the New York premiere of the restoration of Stromboli, directed by her father, Roberto Rossellini, and starring her mother, Ingrid Bergman; and her breakout film, David Lynch’s Blue Velvet. Isabella Rossellini grew up in Paris and Rome, starting her modeling career at 28, when she was photographed by Bruce Weber for British Vogue and by Bill King for American Vogue. She has since worked with the industry's most distinguished photographers—from Richard Avedon to Steven Meisel. Rossellini made her film debut with a brief appearance as a nun the 1976 film A Matter of Time opposite her mother Ingrid Bergman, followed a few years later with her first starring role in Il Prato (The Meadow). Her American film debut was in Taylor Hackford's White Nights which lead her to her breakout role as tortured nightclub singer Dorothy Vallens in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet. Turning her eye to film making in 2005, Rossellini wrote the mischievous and witty My Dad is 100 Years Old, a pretend dialogue about the essence of film directed by Guy Maddin. The following year she made her directorial debut with the short, Oh La La and continued in 2008 by co-directing Green Porno with Jody Shapiro. Rossellini has appeared in more than 70 films and television movies/series; most recently starring in Enemy (2013), directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Jean-Claude Carrière has worked as a cartoonist, novelist, actor, and director, but more importantly established himself as one of France's foremost screenwriters. Beginning his film career with director Pierre Étaix, Carrière went on to collaborate with the likes of Milos Forman, Jacques Deray, Jean-Luc Godard, Volker Schlondorff, Philippe de Broca, and Bertrand Tavernier. He collaborated with Peter Brook on a nine-hour stage version of the ancient Sanskrit epic The Mahabharata (1987 Next Wave), 4
and a five-hour film version. His professional association with Luis Buñuel proved substantial; his scripts for Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972) and That Obscure Object of Desire (1977) earned him Academy Award nominations. Still another Oscar nomination came his way for his work on Philip Kaufman's The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Carrière's own directorial career thus far consists of a 1968 short subject and the 1985 feature L'Unique. As an actor, he has appeared in Buñuel's Diary of a Chambermaid and The Milky Way, as well as the 1994 feature Night and the Moment. Also in 1994, Jean-Claude Carrière published his autobiography, The Secret Language of Film. For press information contact Sarah Garvey,

Directed by Tony Award (Red) and Laurence Olivier Award (Caligula) winner Michael Grandage, who previously directed King Lear with Derek Jacobi in the title role at BAM in 2011, the production presents Britten’s masterpiece as the ensemble piece it should be. It sensitively portrays the stratified yet claustrophobic life on an 18thcentury battleship to reveal the suppressed desires, passions, jealousy, and manipulations among the characters. The BAM presentation features the cast from the 2013 revival, the Glyndebourne Chorus, 5
and the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Mark Elder. These performances mark Glyndebourne’s first US tour in more than a decade. Michael Grandage is an award-winning British theater director and producer. He is artistic director of the Michael Grandage Company, a London-based company set up to produce work in theater, film, and television. As artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse from 2002 to 2012, he directed many award-winning productions including Red (Tony and Drama Desk Awards for Best Director of a Play), The Chalk Garden (Evening Standard and Critics’ Circle Awards for Best Director), Othello (Evening Standard Award for Best Director), Frost/Nixon, The Wild Duck (Critics’ Circle Award for Best Director), Guys and Dolls (Olivier Award for Outstanding Musical Production), Grand Hotel (Evening Standard Award for Best Director, Olivier Award for Outstanding Musical Production), and Caligula (Olivier Award for Best Director). The Glyndebourne Festival was founded in 1934 by John Christie and his opera singer wife, Audrey Mildmay. Glyndebourne has remained financially independent since then and, while receiving valued Arts Council support for the tour and education work, the Festival receives no public subsidy. The Glyndebourne Festival runs from May to August with a program of six operas in a 1,200-seat opera house. Together with the Glyndebourne Tour it presents 150 performances annually to an audience of 150,000. The original Glyndebourne Production was funded by The Monument Trust in honor of Simon Sainsbury.

Barney and Bepler fuse narrative cinema, sculpture, and opera as they reconstruct this hypersexual story of Egyptian gods and the seven stages of death alongside the rise and fall of the American car industry. This vast, multidimensional experience, presented in the proscenium setting of the Steinberg Screen at the BAM Harvey Theater, is interspersed with live performances filmed over six years and features an eclectic cast that includes Paul Giamatti, Ellen Burstyn, Elaine Stritch, Maggie Gyllenhaal, vocalist Joan La Barbara, model and athlete Aimee Mullins, jazz percussionist Milford Graves, and one of the late writer’s sons, John Buffalo Mailer. New York-based artist Matthew Barney has been included in group exhibitions such as Documenta IX (Kassel, Germany), the 1993 and 1995 Whitney Biennial, and the 1993 and 2003 Venice Biennale. His 6
one-person exhibition, The Cremaster Cycle, organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, traveled to the Museum Ludwig in Cologne and the Musée dí’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. A retrospective of the series Drawing Restraint, organized by the 21st Century Museum for Contemporary Art (Kanazawa, Japan), traveled to Leeum Samsung Museum of Art (Seoul), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Serpentine Gallery (London), and the Kunsthalle (Vienna). Barney has received numerous awards including the Aperto prize at the 1993 Venice Biennale and the Hugo Boss award in 1996. He was the recipient of the 2007 Kaiser Ring Award and the Golden Gate Persistence of Vision Award at the 2010 San Francisco International Film Festival. Jonathan Bepler lives and works in Berlin. He has collaborated with choreographers including John Jasperse (CALIFORNIA, 2004 Next Wave), Sasha Waltz (Gezeiten, 2010 Next Wave), and Jennifer Lacey.

A Doll’s House
US premiere
By Henrik Ibsen English language version by Simon Stephens Young Vic Directed by Carrie Cracknell Set design by Ian MacNeil Costumes by Gabrielle Dalton Lighting design by Guy Hoare Music by Stuart Earl Sound design by David McSeveney Choreography by Quinny Sacks BAM Harvey Theater (651 Fulton St) Feb 21—22; Feb 25—March 1; Mar 4—Mar 8; Mar 11—15 at 7:30pm (press opening Feb 26) Feb 22, Mar 1, 8 & 15 at 2pm Feb 23, Mar 2, 9 & 16 at 3pm Tickets: $25, 50, 80 (weekday); $30, 55, 85 (weekend) (prices subject to change after Jan 5) Featuring “a once-in-a-lifetime” (Sunday Telegraph) turn by Hattie Morahan as Nora— the archetypal desperate housewife—for which the rising star was awarded both the Evening Standard and Critics’ 7
Circle Award for Best Actress, the Young Vic’s production of Ibsen’s A Doll’s House arrives at BAM this spring on a tide of rapturous reviews, two sold-out runs, and a West End transfer in the UK. Director Carrie Cracknell breathes fresh and fierce life into Ibsen’s masterpiece of marital discord (adapted by Olivier Award-winning playwright Simon Stephens) in which a seemingly idyllic domestic arrangement slowly morphs into a deadly battleground between suffocating societal norms and the individual’s restless hunger for self-determination. The Young Vic is two things: an idea and a building. Presenting a wide variety of classics, new plays, forgotten works, and music theater, Young Vic shows are created by some of the world’s great theater artists alongside adventurous new talent. With a special focus on the art of directing, the Young Vic’s Directors Program is one the most comprehensive in the UK. The Young Vic’s audience is the youngest and most diverse in the UK, made possible in part by a commitment to give away 10% of tickets to schools and neighbors irrespective of box office demand and to keep prices low. In addition, by co-producing with leading theater companies around the world, the Young Vic is able to co-create shows neither could achieve alone. Recent Young Vic productions have been seen in Paris, Barcelona, Athens, Istanbul, Madrid, Lisbon, Vienna, Dublin, Sydney, New York, Taiwan, Tokyo and all over the UK. Presented in the West End by the Young Vic, Mark Rubinstein, Gavin Kalin, Neil Laidlaw

BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Ave) May 7—9 at 7:30pm Tickets: $20, 30, 40, 55 (prices subject to change after Jan 5) Talk: Lyon Opera Ballet with Artistic Director Yorgos Loukos Co-presented by BAM and the Onassis Cultural Center NY May 6 at 7pm BAM Fisher (Hillman Studio, 321 Ashland Pl) Tickets: $15 ($7.50 for Friends of BAM) Lyon Opera Ballet returns to BAM with the US premiere of Christian Rizzo’s ni fleurs, ni ford-mustang as part of a citywide celebration, DANSE: A French-American Festival of Performance and Ideas. Rizzo’s work as a fashion designer and visual artist is evident in this evening-length work where fancifully dressed dancers lie scattered or wander across the stage like mysterious beasts or slowly morphing sculptures. Set to an original score by Gerome Nox, the dancers’ movements slowly develop 8
as their costumes become more elaborate, all building to an astonishing, ravishing finale. Created in 1969 by Lyon Opera Director Louis Erlo, the present Lyon Opera Ballet was established in 1984 when Erlo invited Françoise Adret to create a new ballet company committed to contemporary choreographers. When Adret retired in 1991, Yorgos Loukos, who had been the company's associate artistic director, was appointed artistic director. The company made its US debut in 1987 with Maguy Marin's Cendrillon in a two-week season at City Center. Committed to showcasing contemporary choreography, Lyon Opera Ballet has acquired and commissioned ballets by a wide range of international dance makers including William Forsythe, Jiří Kylían, Nils Christe, Nacho Duato, Mathilde Monnier and Jean-François Duroure, Louis Falco, Mats Ek, Christopher Bruce, Ohad Naharin, and Angelin Preljocaj. The company's repertoire features works by many American choreographers as well, including Trisha Brown, Ralph Lemon, Karole Armitage, Lucinda Childs, Susan Marshall, Stephen Petronio, and Bill T. Jones. In 1995, Lyon Opera Ballet was named Opéra National de Lyon, elevating the company to the same level as the Opéra National de Paris, the only other national opera house in France. Christian Rizzo’s artistic career began in Toulouse when he started a rock band and designed a line of clothing. He went on to study fine arts at the Villa d'Arson in Nice and branched out into dance unexpectedly. In the 90s Rizzo performed with a number of contemporary choreographers including Mathilde Monnier, Herve Robbe, Mark Tompkins, and Georges Appaix, and sometimes created soundtracks and costumes for them. He has also worked with Vera Mantero, Catherine Contour, Emmanuelle Huynh, and Rachid Ouramdane. In 1996 he founded l'association fragile and began presenting events, solos, and group pieces, as well as projects and commissions from the fashion and visual art worlds. Rizzo teaches on a regular basis in art schools in France and abroad, as well as in establishments devoted to contemporary dance. For press information contact Joe Guttridge,

and African diaspora dance and music. The full artistic lineup for DanceAfrica 2014 will be announced later this season. Dr. Charles “Chuck” Davis, artistic director and founding elder of DanceAfrica, is one of the foremost teachers and choreographers of traditional African dance in America. He has traveled extensively to Africa to study with leading artists. Davis founded the Chuck Davis Dance Company in New York in 1968 and the African American Dance Ensemble in Durham, NC in 1983. He has been a panelist for several programs of the National Endowment for the Arts and is a recipient of the AARP Certificate of Excellence, the North Carolina Dance Alliance Award, the 1990 North Carolina Artist Award, and the North Carolina Order of the Long Leaf Pine. He has served on the board of the North Carolina Arts Council since 1991 and in 1992 he received the North Carolina Award in Fine Arts, the state’s highest honor. In 1996, Davis and the African American Dance Ensemble were awarded a $100,000 grant from the National Dance Residency Program, a three-year initiative launched in 1994 by the New York Foundation for the Arts and funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts.

Weissbard Associate set design by Annick Lavallée-Benny Sound design by Marco Olivieri BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Ave) Jun 22 at 7pm; Jun 24—28 at 7:30pm Jun 28 at 2pm; Jun 29 at 3pm Tickets: $ 25, 45, 75, 105 (weekday); $ 35, 55, 90, 125 (weekend) (prices subject to change after Jan 5) Oscar-nominated actor and founding Wooster Group member Willem Dafoe and legendary performer Mikhail Baryshnikov are a dapperly dressed odd couple, forced to deal with the most inconsiderate of corpses in this surreal melding of absurdism, pitch-black comedy, and vaudeville from iconic director Robert Wilson. The Old Woman is based on the novella of the same name by Russian author Daniil Kharms, a master of Beckettian absurdity who died tragically at age 36 in 1942. In Kharms’ original work, the titular old woman is found dead with no explanation in a struggling writer’s apartment; after he puts her in a suitcase and takes her on a train journey, the story ends, equally inexplicably, with the suitcase’s disappearance. Wilson’s The Old Woman, adapted by Darryl Pinckney, incorporates visual elements of the novella—a stylized oversize suitcase, railway tracks, a clock—while also melding elements of some of Kharms’ other short stories and deploying Baryshnikov and Dafoe to represent two sides of the writer’s corkscrewed mind. The result is a production that brings the recently rediscovered writer’s warped, disorienting world to life with “dazzling exactitude” (Ben Brantley, The New York Times). Robert Wilson’s longstanding relationship with BAM goes back to the 1969 premiere production of The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud, and includes his collaboration with Philip Glass for the epic Einstein on the Beach (1984, 1992, and 2012 Next Wave). In addition to his collaborations with Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan (Woyzeck, 2002 Next Wave) and Tom Waits and William Burroughs (Black Rider, 1993 Next Wave), Wilson also has created works in partnership with Lou Reed, including Time Rocker (1997 Next Wave) and POEtry (2001 Next Wave). The Temptation of St. Anthony (2004 Next Wave) featured a collaboration with Sweet Honey in the Rock founder Bernice Johnson Reagon. Wilson was recently at BAM with Quartett (2009 Next Wave), Heiner Müller’s adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos’ Les Liaisons Dangereuses, featuring Isabelle Huppert; Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s The Threepenny Opera performed by the Berliner Ensemble (2011 Next Wave); and Einstein on the Beach (2012 Next Wave). A native of Riga, Latvia, Mikhail Baryshnikov became principal dancer of the Kirov Ballet in 1969. In 1974, he left the former Soviet Union to dance with major ballet companies around the world including New York City Ballet where he worked with George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. In 1980 he began a 10-year tenure as artistic director of American Ballet Theatre, nurturing a new generation of dancers and choreographers. From 1990 to 2002, Baryshnikov was director and principal dancer with the White Oak Dance Project, co-founded with choreographer Mark Morris and born of his desire to expand the repertoire and visibility of American modern dance. As an actor he has performed widely on- and off-Broadway as well as in television and film, receiving a Tony Award nomination and a Drama Desk Award for Metamorphosis and an Academy Award nomination for The Turning Point. In 2005, he opened the Baryshnikov Arts Center (BAC) in New 12
York, a creative home for local, national, and international artists. Baryshnikov’s many awards include the Kennedy Center Honors, the National Medal of Honor, the Commonwealth Award, the Chubb Fellowship, the Jerome Robbins Award, and the 2012 Vilcek Prize. In 2010 he was named Officier de l’ordre des arts et des lettres by the French government. Willem Dafoe has performed in over 80 films since his feature role debut in Kathryn Bigelow's The Loveless, working with such directors as Wes Anderson, Giada Colagrande, David Cronenberg, Abel Ferrara, William Friedkin, Werner Herzog, Spike Lee, David Lynch, Julian Schnabel, Paul Schrader, Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, and Lars von Trier. He was nominated twice for an Academy Award, for Stone’s Platoon and E. Elias Merhige’s Shadow of the Vampire. Among other nominations and awards, he has received an LA Film Critics award and an Independent Spirit award. Upcoming films include Anderson's Grand Budapest Hotel, Anton Corbijn's A Most Wanted Man, von Trier's Nymphomaniac, Scott Cooper's Out of the Furnace, and Chris Brinker's Bad Country, Josh Boone’s The Fault in our Stars, and David Leitch’s John Wick. Dafoe is one of the original members of the Wooster Group, the New York based experimental theater collective, and has created and performed in all of the group's works from 1977 to 2005, both in the US and internationally. Since 2005, he has worked with director Richard Foreman in Idiot Savant and with Robert Wilson in The Life & Death of Marina Abramovic. For press information contact Adriana Leshko,
