Betreiben PT. II
A dance theater performance based on the life and work of Robert Mapplethorpe.

Betreiben is a collection of site-specific, immersive dance theater works centered around the life and work of NY-based artist, Robert Mapplethorpe.

Betreiben Part I premiered on December 6th, 2021 at the New York City Culture Club, a gallery in the Oculus Building at the World Trade Center in NYC. This creation & performance of this work was made possible by Mary Cusano Amsterdam.

Betreiben Part II is the product of a 2-week artistic residency at Carroll Hall where we have exploded and expanded upon the world created in Betreiben Part I. The performance will be followed with a reception and a set played by DJ Monet.
