John Jesrun: Firefall

"Jesurun’s visionary new theater swoops into your mind violently…and vanishes leaving you dazed and tingling. A pleasure to watch.” – The Village Voice

John Jesurun’s groundbreaking pieces challenge perception through an intense integration of language, media, and space. A MacArthur Fellowship recipient, John’s new work Firefall confronts the intersection between harmony, uncertainty, and belief. Performers interact within a governing website structure that is antithetical to an agreed upon script. Unintentional “drama” materializes as they resist being absorbed by their own growing multi-dimensionality.
