Akiko Aizawa, Tom Nelis, et al. Set for Charles Mee’s Under Construction, Directed by Anne Bogart

Akiko Aizawa, J.Ed Araiza, Leon Ingulsrud, Ellen Lauren, Tom Nelis, Barney
O’Hanlon, Makela Spielman, Samuel Stricklen, and Stephen Duff Webber will star in the New York premiere of Charles Mee’s Under Construction, to be presented by SITI Company at Dance Theater Workshop, April 21-May 7. Anne Bogart will direct.

The piece is a collage of today’s America inspired by the twentieth-century painter Norman Rockwell and avant-garde installation artist Jason Rhoades. Under Construction is the third installment of the American Museum Cycle, a collection of four plays inspired by American artists. It follows bobrauschenbergamerica, which looked at the world through the eyes of abstract expressionist Robert Rauschenberg, and Hotel Cassiopeia, which explored the mind of Joseph Cornell.

The creative team will include Neil Patel (scenic designer), James Schuette (costume designer), Brian H Scott (lighting/video designer), and Darron L West (sound designer).

There will be pre-show talks with Anne Bogart and Charles L. Mee on April 25, 26, 27, and May 2 at 6:30pm.
