Muppet Treasure Island

0 upcoming performances in New York

At Museum of the Moving Image, “Muppet Treasure Island” is reframed as a dance event, treating the 1996 film’s pirate narrative as a score for movement. The piece draws on Robert Louis Stevenson’s story of maps, loyalty, and greed, filtering it through the Muppets’ deadpan chaos and the grounded presence of Long John Silver. In New York, where the Museum has long served as a public memory bank for screen culture, it reads like a reminder that adaptation is also choreography. The result is playful, but it keeps a clear eye on how performance manufactures adventure.
