By Heart

Starting in 2023, the Portuguese playwright and actor Tiago Rodrigues will take the reins at France's world-famous Avignon Festival. This fall, New York audiences have a chance to see him in a far more intimate capacity: performing an interactive solo piece at BAM's cozy Fishman Space, in which Rodrigues invites 10 members of the audience to join him in a personal exploration of poetry, memory and the transmission of ideas. The text of the show includes fragments of works by William Shakespeare, Ray Bradbury, Boris Pasternak, George Steiner and Joseph Brodsky, among others.
