Zustiak’s “The Painted Bird”, a three-part epic, is a claustrophobic, sometimes disorienting exploration of themes of displacement and altered perception
– The New Yorker
See you there!

The Painted Bird trilogy, is a series of dance-theater performances by acclaimed choreographer, Pavel Zustiak.
Inspired by the Jerzy Kosinski novel of the same name, which tells the story of a young boy making his way through war-time Eastern Europe, The Painted Bird is an ambitious, emotionally charged production that deals with themes of identity, otherness, displacement and transformation. Integrating dance, video, visual projections, and live music composed by Christian Frederickson, Ryan Rumery, and Jason Nobel, the piece, as The New Yorker says, shines with Zustiak’s “vivid, often anguished, imagination.”
The Painted Bird shows at La MaMa Moves! 2013 will be the first time all three parts of the trilogy– Bastard, Amidst, and Strange Cargo– will presented together in New York. The whole three-show cycle is about four hours long, with food available during the intermissions.

June 30 at 3pm
Tickets for the entire trilogy are $60 ($55 student/senior)
