Co-creators Ellpetha Tsivicos and Camilo Quiroz-Vazquez will present the world premiere of Persou, an experiential festival celebrating Spring. Performances will be held at Nancy Manocherian s the cell Theatre in Manhattan Wednesdays through Saturdays from May 19 to June 5, 2021.
Persou is directed by Ellpetha Tsivicos and written by Camilo Quiroz-Vazquez, who previously collaborated in August 2020 on the immersive, socially-distanced outdoor play Quince, dubbed endearing and exhilarating by The New York Times. A co-production with The TEAM, Quince marked the first live theatre event in NYC during the pandemic.
