Created and performed by clown artist Christina Gelsone, one of Big Apple Circus’s most beloved headliners, “GREEF” is a powerful, inventive, and, yes, funny theatrical work reflecting on the artist’s loss of her husband and performing partner to a debilitating illness. The piece combines wordless physical theater and rich imagery into an intimate, tragicomic portrait of humanity and empathy. Deeply personal and vulnerable, “GREEF” explores what comes after profound trauma, the choices we make when someone is in need, and just how closely grief and laughter can coexist. Fresh from its sold-out run at Ruhrfestspiele in Germany, this will be its U.S. premiere.

“GREEF” was developed, in part, during a Baryshnikov Arts Center Residency.
