7) Prototype Festival
10th Anniversary Season
January 7 - 16
PROTOTYPE: Opera | Theatre | Now Beth Morrison Projects and HERE’s annual festival announces its tenth anniversary season running from January 7-16, 2022. Curated by festival directors Jecca Barry, Kristin Marting, and Beth Morrison, this season will mark PROTOTYPE’s return to live performances following COVID-19, with a hybrid online and in-person festival. Leading up to the season, live digital streams will take place each month as part of PROTOTYPE X. The festival will present five world premieres and one United States premiere, and will feature a diverse group of over 600 artists, including composers, librettists, performers, and more.
Opening PROTOTYPE's tenth anniversary season on January 7 is Taylor Mac's The Hang, rooted in the jazz tradition and operatic form, with music by Matt Ray, and directed by Niegel Smith. The Hang is about the final moments of Socrates' life imagined as a centuries communal consideration of virtue. This world premiere, commissioned, developed, and produced by HERE, is a celebration of queerness and living in the eternal moment. The All Sing - "Here Lies Joy" has its world premiere on January 8, and is produced by PROTOTYPE and co-presented with the Times Square Arts Alliance. The music is composed by Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR), the librettist and creative director is Marc Bamuthi Joseph, and is conducted by Carolyn Kuan. The All Sing - "Here Lies Joy" will unite over 1,000 voices in a vibrant tapestry of sound, poetic justice, and hope under the public programming initiative, “Out of Bounds”. The goal of The All Sing is to celebrate the connectedness of community, our capacity to love, and to raise our voices together in joyful song. All are welcome to share in the moment either in-person, or via livestream. Also opening January 8 is Trade, a world premiere production by Beth Morrison Projects, Irish National Opera, and Trinity Church Wall Street, commissioned by Beth Morrison Projects, Irish National Opera, Trinity Church Wall Street, and Nancy & Barry Sanders, and developed by Beth Morrison Projects. Emma O’Halloran (winner of the BMP's Next Generation Competition), with librettist Mark O’Halloran, and director Tom Creed have collaborated to create a full length opera that tells the story of two men in working-class Dublin, both trapped within their own lives.
Cannabis! A Viper Vaudeville, is an immersive theatrical event commissioned, developed, and produced by HERE and co-presented with La MaMa. This cross-discipline musical exploration of the US history of cannabis makes its world premiere on January 8. The piece is based on Martin A. Lee's book, Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana - Medical, Recreational, and Scientific, and composed by Grace Galu, written and co-directed by Baba Israel, and co-directed by Talvin Wilks. Following its world premiere, Book of Mountains & Seas has its United States premiere on January 11 at PROTOTYPE Festival. Book of Mountains & Seas was commissioned by Beth Morrison Projects, Ars Nova (Copenhagen), Toronto Soundstreams, Koorbiennale, Hong Kong New Vision Festival, Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech, and Linda & Stuart Nelson, with words and music by Huang Ruo, and direction and production design by Basil Twist. Book of Mountains & Seas is co-presented with St. Ann's Warehouse. It is a new work of vocal-theatre inspired by ancient Chinese myths. The work for 12 singers, two percussionists, and large-scale puppetry was first transcribed in 4th century B.C. It is a 21st-century adaptation through the lens of our modern-day relationship with the natural world. Finally, Marchita is the world premiere creation by Silvana Estrada opening on January 14. Estrada exposes the songs from her debut album of the same name, using choreography by Clara Pampyn and the vocal sounds of the Ka'y Ha' Quartet in an intimate ritual with melodies that burst from tradition, loss, and love. Roberto Verástegui has arranged Estrada's original music, along with music direction by Laura Itendehui.
PROTOTYPE's tenth anniversary season will be presented in a digital format as well as in-person. One live production will also be available for online live streaming. Additionally, an international presentation will be streamed through the PROTOTYPE website. Details of the digital offerings will be announced at a later date.
There will be one in-person talkback for each show. Additionally, there will be a member's only virtual conversation with the directors at the tail-end of the festival on January 17.

In CLYDE’S, a stirring and funny new play from two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage and her frequent collaborator, director Kate Whoriskey (Ruined, Sweat), a truck stop sandwich shop offers its formerly incarcerated kitchen staff a shot at redemption. Even as the shop’s callous owner, Clyde (played by Aduba), tries to keep them under her thumb, the staff members are given purpose and permission to dream by their shared quest to create the perfect sandwich. You’ll want a seat at the table for this humorous, moving, and urgent play.
