THE TASK Ends Run at Castillo Theatre, 3/7
The Task will play through March 7th. The Task is written by Heiner Müller and translated by Carl Weber, with music & lyrics by Fred Newman, and directed by Gabrielle L. Kurlander.
The promise of revolution comes to Jamaica in 1799, as the timeless themes of love, loss and betrayal collide in a challenging play by acclaimed German avant-gardist Heiner Müller.
Castillo continues expanding the boundaries of political theatre, avant-garde and Black theatre drawing on its long history in all three genres as popular director Gabrielle L. Kurlander mounts the first-ever American production of Müller's The Task performed by an all-Black cast. With Fred Newman's avant-garde songs, Billy Taylor's gospel, R&B classics, hip-hop and rap, this is New York City experimental theatre at its best. "...rare chance to see the work of one of Europe's most influential avant-garde playwrights in a fresh new way." - Theatre is Easy.
