LIGHT/STATION and Manmade Earth

The events are presented as part of the 2018 Response Festival, Torn Space Theater's annual series of original contemporary performance by local and internationally-recognized artists. Support has been provided by UB's Creative Arts Initiative.

A meditative walk-through performance designed by Torn Space Theater that leads from the Adam Mickiewicz Library and Dramatic Circle, through the historic Polonia neighborhood where sculpture, sound design, light and live performance guide the audience to the towering St. Stanislaus Church for a private concert. This creative collaboration between Torn Space and Christopher Romano, designer of LIGHT/STATION, allows Torn Space to reimagine their new space, a dynamic metal-clad design studio and conference space that opened last year on Buffalo's East Side.  

Daily performances start at 5:30 pm, Nov. 16-18

Tickets: Fri/Sat ($100) (Friday and Saturday performances include a locally-prepared meal in the Mickiewicz speakeasy, and admission to 600 Highwayman’s MANMADE EARTH | Sun ($25)

A new show in development, and the product of a three-week residency by internationally-acclaimed 600 HIGHWAYMEN, Manmade Earth examines the evolution of our society; how we come together to create what we could not on our own. Buildings get built, destroyed, built again. How do the structures that we make push us together or keep us apart? The performance features high school students from Buffalo schools, and has been developed with support from UB architecture students.

Daily performances starting at 7:30 pm Nov. 16-18 with additional 2 pm performance on Saturday
Tickets: $25 (early bird special $20)
