ONLY 2 WEEKS LEFT

Read why Basil Twist is part of The New York 40 They've ruled the city-and told us why this city rules.    Read Ben Brantley's Rave Review Two national treasures unleash their epic imaginations to conjure a modern and intimate fantasy. Twist's signature magic envelopes Arias' legendary voice, transporting us to unpredictable worlds, channeling ecstatic desires, lavish nightmares and bizarre premonitions in a bejeweled cabinet of curiosities that could only be found in one of downtown's last enclaves for bohemian New York style.

A special performance created for the Dorothy B. Williams Theatre, marking Arias' homecoming after a triumphant six-year run in Las Vegas with Cirque du Soleil's Zumanity, and the 10th Anniversary of our Dream Music Puppetry Program. (Playfully intended for mature audiences, not for children.)   PLEASE NOTE: Due to the intimate nature of the performance, there will be absolutely no late seating. A limited number of partial view $20 Rush Tickets will be available at the box office 30 minutes before each performance. Limit one per person.
