"Two years ago, the annual Under the Radar festival (which showcases international, experimental and multidisciplinary theater) was unexpectedly canceled by the Public Theater, its longtime presenter, due to financial issues. In response, the festival was quickly reconceived as a citywide effort involving several other theater companies, allowing it to move forward. The festival, now in its 21st edition, returns this month with productions at theaters across the city from Jan. 7 to 25."
"12 Last Songs: MP: I'm a sucker for a theatrical experiment as well as durational theatre, and this fuses those with another one of my passions: recognizing and celebrating the laborers of NYC. This 12-hour piece you can come and go as you please includes performances from 30 workers, none of whom are actors, and all of whom are actually doing their job or demonstrating their job live in the theatre."
"The Rest of Our Lives: MR: Everyone needs to see The Rest of Our Lives.' Why? Because it brings real joy, which is in such short supply lately. It is so much fun to see Jo Fong and George Orange from the UK, both former Ballet Rambert dancers, tease us with their humorous and poignant perspective on life. Friday Night Rat Catchers: MP: This is an incredible dance-theatre piece by the wild and weird duo Lisa Fagan and Lena Engelstein."
The Under the Radar festival was canceled by the Public Theater two years ago for financial reasons and was reconceived as a citywide collaboration among multiple theater companies. The festival now resumes in its 21st edition with productions across the city from Jan. 7 to 25 and a complete list at utrfest.org. Highlighted works include Elevator Repair Service's two-hour adaptation of Ulysses directed by John Collins, a 12-hour durational piece featuring 30 non-actor laborers performing their jobs live, joyful dance-theatre The Rest of Our Lives, and the inventive dance-theatre Friday Night Rat Catchers.
