Camille Henrot’s first-ever live performance, “Commedia dell’arte,” premieres in New York City on September 23, 2026 at L’Alliance New York Florence Gould Theater. Fresh off its one-night world premiere at the Wheeler Opera House as part of the Aspen Art Museum’s 2026 AIR Festival, New York audiences can see the show over three evening performances and one matinee. The box office is open — link in bio!

Henrot’s performance incorporates the stock characters and comic ploys of the Italian Renaissance theatrical tradition within a modern-day New York City apartment building. The delivery of a package triggers a cascade of uncanny events among tenants, as the tragi-comedic play attempts to make sense out of the senseless, ultimately collapsing into it.

Performances:
September 23-25 at 7:30PM
September 26 at 2:00PM

“Commedia dell’arte” is directed by Camille Henrot, with a script by Camille Henrot, Estelle Hoy, and Justine Gelfman, and music composed and performed by Mauro Hertig and Aaron David Ross. It features set design by Adam Charlap Hyman of Charlap Hyman & Herrero, in collaboration with Camille Henrot, choreography and rehearsal direction by Sigrid Lauren, lighting design by Dan Stearns, costume design by Sandra Berrebi, and make-up design by Ayami Nishimura. The work is performed by Samori Etienne, Maya Margarita, Christina Catherine Martinez, Bobbi Salvör Menuez, Isa Spector, and Alex Tatarsky. It is produced by Julia Simpson (Performa) and Eliza Ryan (Aspen Art Museum), with associate production by Dria Brown, and stage management by Philip Trevino, with many others.
