PASSAGES
An evening-length show featuring Juilliard musicians and actors, conceived in collaboration with Derek Wang. Fusing nature-inspired music by Robert Schumann, Charles Ives, and George Crumb with original dramatic text written for the occasion, the show progresses through a series of idiosyncratic voices. Starting with domestic, inanimate objects, then delving into forests and humans, and ultimately careening towards the ocean, Passages depicts a vast, ruminative landscape in which each figure is reckoning with its own capacity for pettiness, greatness, and grace.
Presented at David Rubenstein Atrium, Lincoln Center, April 2026.
Actors: Taip Oskar Ćeman, Andrés Goldszmidt, Sam Im, Nora Pantoja, and Luan Taveras
Musicians: Dolphins Quartet (Luke Henderson, Isaac Park, James Preucil, Ian Maloney), Phoebe Rawn, Amanda Vosburgh, Derek Wang, and Taige Wang

A short documentary film in dialogue with Chantal Akerman’s work from the 1970s, particularly News From Home (1977), La Chambre (1972), and Je Tu Il Elle (1974). Through the framework of discussing the semiotic, cultural, and gendered implications of darkness and light, the film indexes the temporal, spatial, and emotional distances between mother and son.
