Another You: Doppelgangers, Doubles, and Dupes in Cinema
Monday, May 18 – Thursday, May 21
We are excited to collaborate with the American Repertory Theater on a film series celebrating their latest production, Black Swan.
With direction and choreography by Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh Black Swan brings the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller to the stage. Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape. See it at the Loeb Drama Center May 26 – June 28! And, in the meantime, delve into the mind-bending world of cinematic doubles and doppelgängers with this brief series.
