Trisha Brown Dance Company

Fifty years after its BAM debut, the Trisha Brown Dance Company returns to the opera house to honor the centennial of one of its most influential collaborators: Robert Rauschenberg, the visionary artist behind the stage designs for Set & Reset—Brown’s watershed work from the inaugural Next Wave Festival in 1983.

Experience Set & Reset, hailed as an “instant masterpiece” (The New York Times) and featuring music by Laurie Anderson, alongside Merce Cunningham’s Travelogue, a collaboration with Rauschenberg and composer John Cage. Last performed by a professional company in 1979, Travelogue marks the first time a Cunningham dance has been staged by the Trisha Brown Dance Company. Don’t miss this rare convergence of some of the world’s most revolutionary artists.
