Critics rave about Truth, Revised Histories, Wishful Thinking, and Flat Out Lies

John Jasperse Company brings the New York premiere of Truth, Revised Histories, Wishful Thinking, and Flat Out Lies to The Joyce for five performances this June. The evening-length piece, which will have its New York City debut on our stage, has critics raving in Los Angeles and Chicago. Following its West Coast premiere at REDCAT, The Los Angeles Times says the work is “rife with glorious butt-squeezes, rendered flirty and fabulous by Jasperse’s stellar crew.” Time Out Chicago calls the work “pregnant with engrossing ideas, its strength its insistence that we in the audience handle their delivery—Jasperse’s stage action only rarely opens its throttle, but the viewing experience races, and is rich.”

Truth explores the often fluid boundaries between fantasy and reality and features a commissioned score by composer Hahn Rowe, performed live by a string ensemble from the International Contemporary Ensemble. See the New York premiere at The Joyce June 16-19.
