The recently renovated Hall of the Americas will be setting for this large-scale multi-channel video and sound installation celebrating the twentieth year of the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival. Visitors will be invited to recline on an oversized viewing platform where they will see and hear The Next Wave's groundbreaking performances projected overhead. Dynamically edited, never before seen archival footage from the festivals performances make up a 28 minute video experience which will include clips from: Secret Pastures (Bill T. Jones/Arnie Sane/Keith Haring), The Mahabharata (Peter Brook/Chloe Obolensky), Songs and Stories from Moby Dick (Laurie Anderson), The Forest (Robert Wilson/David Byrne), Forward and Reverse (Merce Cunningham/Rei Kawakuba), and Time Rocker (Robert Wilson/Lou Reed) among others.
