Baryshnikov Arts presents the World Premiere of Kevin Carillo’s FIGARO/FAGGOTS, a theatre/opera hybrid work that marries W.A. Mozart’s classic opera “The Marriage of Figaro” with gay rights activist Larry Kramer’s incendiary novel, Faggots. Set on Fire Island in 1977, the performance investigates the complexities of same-sex partnership and fight for marriage equality through a score by Mozarrt, transformed with a new libretto sourced entirely from texts by Kramer.
