The season will also mark the return of the critically acclaimed 2021 puppet production Lunch With Sonia.
These works by artists long-associated with La MaMa will be joined by world and U.S. premieres by theater artists from Croatia, Italy, Slovenia, Ukraine, Brazil, Japan and Iceland over the course of the 2022-23 season during which La MaMa will present more than 40 theater, music, dance and puppet productions from eight countries along with projects at the intersection of art and technology by CultureHub, the ever-popular La MaMa Kids and exhibitions at La MaMa Galleria and La MaMa’s other ongoing programs. The season’s theme – “Remake a World” – will be reflected throughout the season, as well as in La MaMa’s gala on November 10 during which the company will celebrate the start of its 7th decade as one of the leading centers for local and international theatre artists to create and perform experimental work on its stages.
