Bay Street Theater & Sag Harbor Center for the Arts presents “Wonder/Wall,” a new immersive video performance series, combining live performance and video projection to create a storytelling experience never before seen at Bay Street Theater.
Each week in July, Bay Street’s courtyard will be transformed into a new experience, featuring four world premieres created by five different artists, whose work has been commissioned by Bay Street Theater and created specifically for this location. Bay Street brings these new, cutting-edge video artists to Sag Harbor for all on the East End to experience.
“Wonder/Wall” is conceived and curated by Bay Street’s Artistic Associate, Josh Wilder. Participating artists include Rasean Davonte Johnson, Yee Eun Nam, Mike Billings, Brian Staton, and Brittany Bland.
“My intention for ‘Wonder/Wall’ was to highlight the other storyteller of the theater: the projections designer,” said Wilder. “We seldom get to see them at the forefront, and this moment that we’re in right now — in a way — forces them to take centerstage. ‘Wonder/Wall’ provides an amazing opportunity for designers to create a new and immersive experience for patrons who are ready to get back to the theater. I am very excited that Bay Street took on this new venture that I hope will reinvent itself for many years to come.”
“Wonder/Wall” runs Tuesdays through Sundays from 8:30 to 10:30 PM starting Tuesday, July 6, through Saturday, July 31. Each evening features five individual 15-minute performances starting at 8:30 PM, which will include a live performance element that takes place within the immersive video world surrounding the audience.
Performances will be held live and in-person, for a standing audience of just 20 individuals (those with disabilities or anyone requiring seating may call the Box Office to arrange accommodation). Tickets are $20 and are available through the Box Office by calling 631-725-9500 or by emailing boxoffice@baystreet.org. Performances are dependent on the weather and will not be rescheduled.
