This interactive exploration of song, dance, bodies, sex, movement, friendship, and wealth comes from lead adapters Abigail Duclos & Isabel Tongson based on an open workshop in Summer 2023 with contributors Henry Alper & Shayan Hooshmand (Artistic Director) and original devisers Andrés Goldzsmidt, Allison Letterman, Santiago Mallan, Niraj Nair, & Maya T.

Weed, masks by Sophie Craig (Executive Director), costume design by Aly Hernandez & Bella Williams, sound design and composition by Jasmine Richards, and lighting design by Zee Hanna.

Our play tells the story of Timon, a young, furious, and fabulous Manhattanite whose fortune dwindles after the sudden death of both of his parents-coupled with a new and special focus on his personal assistant, Flavius, who wants nothing more than to burn everything around her into ashes. Featuring two original songs and myriad dances, Timon of Athens is a bold reimagining of Shakespeare's original text, bringing the timeless themes of friendship, money, jealousy, and desire to exciting new heights.

Join The Elif Collective and the company of Timon of Athens August 4-August 14, 2024 at Alchemical Studios for an evening where you'll dance, snack, socialize, watch Shakespeare, and mourn.
