THE MOTHERBOARD SUITE:

Saul Williams and musical collaborators

Maria Bauman, Kayla Farrish, Marjani Forté-Saunders, d. Sabela grimes, Jasmine Hearn, and Shamel Pitts.

The Motherboard Suite brings to life a suite of music by musician, poet, actor Saul Williams.  Directed by Bill T. Jones, this non-linear work is performed by Saul and his musical collaborators and features six choreographers – Maria Bauman, Kayla Farrish, Marjani Forté-Saunders, d. Sabela grimes, Jasmine Hearn, and Shamel Pitts. Each choreographer is invited into the world of Saul’s exploration at the intersection of technology and race, exploitation and mystical anarchy, where hackers are artists and activists. The performance will take place inside Jasmine Murrell’s installation.

The live version runs through May 15 with a free and public final performance in Times Square (Father Duffy Square @ 46th & Broadway), in partnership with Times Square Arts.

Immediately following The Motherboard Suite on May 15 at 8pm, the festival will culminate with COSPLAY @ Times Square at Time Square in partnership in partnership with BSAM, Lot Radio and Time Square Arts.

Digital presentations of the show May 14 & 15 at 7:00pm will be presented on Interspace, Live Arts’ customized online 3D platform and virtual home for the festival.
