Poet in New York by Pig Iron Theatre Company at the Strayhorn

KST Presents

Pig Iron Theatre Company

Poet in New York

September 30 – October 1 (60 mins)

**October 1 performance is performed in Spanish.


"A stunning performance…the poignancy and humor he can almost simultaneously create make Lorca’s hopes and disillusioned dreams come alive." -- The Herald (Glasgow)

Dito van Reigersberg of Pig Iron Theatre Company pays homage to Spanish poet, playwright and theater director Federico García Lorca in this tour de force one-man play.


Poet takes place in 1929 as a broken-hearted Lorca arrives in New York City to find a whirlwind of Harlem blues, looming skyscrapers, and stock market disasters.


Pig Iron founder Dito van Reigersberg plays nine characters, from a volcanic Salvador Dalí to Harlem blues-singer Victoria Spivey to the ghost of Walt Whitman, in a unique evening of dance-theater that has become one of Pig Iron’s signature works.”


Special Reception & Tickets for Two!


Join us for a special reception following Saturday's performance! An Evening with Pig Iron includes two tickets to the show, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and live music. Pig Iron’s Dito van Reigersberg will mingle with guests as flamenco guitarist Jon Banuelos caps off this Spanish night with flamenco singing and dancing.
