We're about 3 weeks away from the US premiere of Newyorkland here at OtB. Here's your first look at the cast of performers who will appear on the stage as part this assemblage that combines gritty cop films from the 1970s, popular TV police procedurals, and real life cop stories:

Two great reviews have been published in the past few days that do a great job of addressing what happens onstage in Te haré invencible con mi derrota. Here they are:
Over the weekend I received a number of responses in my inbox about Te haré invencible con mi derrota. There are quite a few more that were posted in direct response to other audience reviews, so be sure to check them all out.
Te haré invencible con mi derrota is an intense and abstract conversation between the Spanish artist Angélica Liddell and the deceased British cellist Jacqueline du Pré (1945-1987). Liddell converses with the dead, because as she explains in the performance program, “I did not want to talk with living people. The living had defrauded me, deceived me, terribly.”
Just a quick reminder that there is no performance this evening. The box office will, however, be open regular weekend of show hours (3-6pm).
Well.
I am not sure what to say- or how to say anything in a coherent way, so I won't try.
I'll just write.
Well, I don’t really know where to start with this, so please bear with my stream of consciousness reviewing style. I never really understood or had an affinity to performance art of the blood and guts variety.
An essential part of the mission of On the Boards is introducing international innovators to audiences, so we’re particularly proud to bring this artist here. The show has already prompted a lot of conversation.
Angélica Liddell is a warrior artist. She sees the stage as a battlefield and employs any means necessary to make something beautiful out of difficult subjects, things most people would rather leave unsaid or unexamined. She describes personal pain and summons the spirit of a famous dead cellist for answers.
Both weeklies have previews/recommendations for Angélica Liddell this weekend. Check it out:
Misha Berson at the Seattle Times got the skinny on Angélica Liddell from Lane Czaplinski as well as some teasers about other upcoming shows in the 11/12 Season. Read about our 11/12 performances in the Seattle Times.
