The Play:
How do we manage to live full and vibrant lives while death breathes down our neck? Death and the Ploughman, a hauntingly beautiful play written by Johannes Von Saaz in Germany in 1401, awakens the complex mystery encased in this deeply disturbing question. A man loses his beloved wife in her prime and demands some answers for his ensuing pain. He asks Death to respond. The result is an extraordinarily contemporary exploration of what it means to be alive in the world.

The Company:
SITI Company is an ensemble-based theatre company whose three ongoing components are the creation of new work, the training of young theatre artists, and a commitment to international collaboration. Founded in 1992 by Anne Bogart and Tadashi Suzuki, SITI began as an agreement to redefine and revitalize contemporary theater in the United States through an emphasis on international cultural exchange and collaboration. SITI believes that contemporary American theatre must necessarily incorporate artists from around the world and learn from the resulting cross-cultural exchange of dance, music, art, and performance experiences. Based in New York City, the company is known nationally and internationally as a top-level artistic collective that generates groundbreaking theater while training artists from around the world.

The Reviews:
"With the sculptural intensity of a precisely choreographed dance-theater experiment, Death recasts timeless questions into a meditation on the ravages of life and loss. BOGART'S SITI COMPANY APPROACHES ITS BEST."
Columbus Dispatch

"Alternately disorienting and soothing, humorous and haunting, the physical language and vocal dexterity of the performers is really a marvel to behold."
