Two worlds collide as Blessed Unrest and the New York University Percussion Ensemble combine classical percussion and physical theatre. This explosive show is Blessed Unrest's third percussive theatre collaboration with NYU, and this year's all-new program features Igor Stravinsky's "A Soldier's Story" with text by Kurt Vonnegut. Also included is music and text by Philip Glass, Ho Chi Minh, Larry Spivack, and Javier Diaz.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Blessed Unrest heats up Shakespeare’s magical tale of people desperately trying to love each other in spite of volatile weather, identity confusion and meddling sprites. This physically dynamic production ignites Shakespeare’s language and tears open the heart of the play.
Thank god for Blessed Unrest’s production of "A Midsummer Night’s Dream". This diamond in the rough restored my faith in off-off Broadway….
This company’s energetic and crystal-clear presentation of a play packed with fairies, amazon queens, magic elixirs, and shape-changing donkeys made Shakespeare’s magical forest thoroughly relevant and captivating from start to finish.
We see the seasons alter...
The spring, the summer,
The childing autumn, angry winter, change
Their wonted liveries; and the mazed world
By their increase now knows not which is which.

Doruntine toured Albania, Macedonia, and Kosova
Blessed Unrest began the seaon by taking Doruntine, our acclaimed collaboration with Teatri Oda of Kosova, on a month-long tour of major cities in Albania, Macedonia, and Kosova. The show was a huge hit, with sold-out performances and extensive national print and television coverage.
This tour was made possible by the generosity of Trust for Mutual Understanding, the US State Department, and the Kosova Ministry of Culture.
