Be Fruitful

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Be Fruitful” takes its title from an ancient injunction about human continuance and the obligations that come with it, a phrase that has traveled through Jewish and Christian tradition into modern public life. The work reads that inheritance alongside contemporary questions of family, authority, and who gets counted in the future a society imagines. If presented as an NYC premiere, it lands in a city where religious language and civic debate routinely overlap on the street and onstage. Its sharpest point is how a line meant to bless can also be used to police.
