ABOUT
The Door Slams, A Glass Trembles. The dining room of a sanatorium in the Alps. The deck of a ship on its way to Egypt. A country home in the Northeast. An uprooted family. An accidental death. Time elongates, compresses, becomes disjointed, and layers events past, present and imagined.
Combining richly textured music-theater with striking visual imagery, Talking Band’s elegant, eloquent, profound performance work has for fifty years been a cornerstone of New York City’s avant-guard theater community. Recipient of 18 OBIE awards including Life Time Achievement awards for its founders Ellen Maddow, Tina Shepard, and Paul Zimet. Talking Band is a resident company at La MaMa and has performed at nearly all of New York City’s celebrated downtown venues. Its original productions have toured throughout the U.S. and internationally to 14 countries.
