People behind the production
Alcestis Ascending is a bilingual theatrical experience that reimagines Euripides’ Alcestis through the lens of contemporary dance and rock-infused live music. Created by Seth Panitch, with music by Tom Wolfe, the production brings together Cuban and US performers under the HavanaBama umbrella to deliver a kinetic, genre-defying performance. While known for its Off-Broadway run at the Harold Clurman Theatre in NYC in July 2013, Alcestis Ascending is part of a broader artistic dialogue that includes collaborative projects between Havana and American institutions.
