KINGS…come home tells the story of a family in search of a new home. After leaving their original home, they embark on a journey to find prosperity, opportunity, and safety.

As their journey continues, we witness the enduring effects of their constant displacement and how it reshapes their reality.

A Streetcar Named Desire
Friday, February 28th through Wednesday, March 12th
Location: BAM Strong, Harvey Theater
Tickets: start at $35
Hot off two sold-out runs in London’s West End, this staggering revival of Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire stars Oscar nominee Paul Mescal (Gladiator II, Aftersun, All of Us Strangers) alongside Patsy Ferran (Living, God’s Own Country) and Anjana Vasan (Killing Eve, Black Mirror), arriving at BAM for a limited five-week run.
Olivier Award-winning director Rebecca Frecknall (Cabaret, Summer and Smoke) helms an empathetic and powerful vision of one of the greatest American plays ever written.
In the sweltering heat of New Orleans summer, a woman’s grip on the world begins to slip. When Blanche arrives at her sister Stella’s doorstep, desperate and out of options, her complicated past ignites a smoldering tension within the walls of the stifling apartment. And all the while, Stella’s husband Stanley—played by Mescal with unique “swagger and sensitivity” (The New York Times)—stalks the truths that Blanche so desperately wants to keep buried. Soon, Blanche’s meticulously constructed facade begins to crack and peel, offering an intimate and compelling picture of darker currents pulsating underneath.
MOMO
Thursday, March 6th through Saturday, March 8th
Location: Peter Jay Sharp Building, Howard Gilman Opera House
Tickets: start at $35
MOMO has two souls. One sends long roots to the depths of the earth, embodying archetypes and myths of hardened, raw, masculinity; the other is in a constant search for a distinct DNA. One soul moves within its own autonomous and independent force field; the other is a constellation of elements that spin around the same nucleus, alternately drifting towards it and away, making room for necessary tenderness and catharsis.
With a soundtrack composed mostly of the album Landfall by the legendary Laurie Anderson and Kronos Quartet, a shared passion of deep sorrow and beauty unfolds on stage in this rapturous dance work. Relinquishment becomes a dedicated search for a crack, and glitches in the movement code turn out to be free, playful, and emotive material. MOMO is an evocative exploration of the medium from a titan of contemporary dance.

NEW EXHIBITION:
Fallout: Atoms for War & Peace
March 13th through September 7th
Two days before the outbreak of World War II, a scientific paper was published explaining the theoretical process of nuclear fission in which the controlled splitting of an atomic nucleus releases a vast amount of energy.
Over the next decade, scientists around the world would perfect the process of harnessing that energy, developing two of the most impactful inventions of the modern era: the nuclear bomb and the nuclear power station.
This exhibition chronicles the global development of the nuclear industry, for peaceful and offensive means, examining posters that both promoted and protested its use throughout the second half of the 20th century. It features the entire General Dynamics series, long heralded as one of the finest examples of corporate propaganda ever created, as well as over 60 other posters criticizing the proliferation of nuclear technology.
NEW EXHIBITION:
Puerto Rico in Print: The Posters of Lorenzo Homar
March 13th through September 7th
Lorenzo Homar was a pioneering printmaker, poster designer, calligrapher, painter, illustrator, caricaturist, and costume and theatrical set designer. Active from the 1950s through the 1990s, few equal his impact and influence as a teacher of poster design and printmaking in Latin America.
This exhibition focuses on his poster output over a thirty year period during which time his work reflected the complex history of Puerto Rico, encompassing elements of Taíno, Spanish, and African cultures as well as the rising tensions between tradition and modernity under the Luis Muñoz Marín government. His influence is so extensive that today he is known as the father of the Puerto Rican poster.
