Dis-order is an evening-length dance theater performance directed by Mamie Green that examines the complexity of family dynamics through contemporary dance, theater, comedy, ritual, and puppetry. Staged in the round, the work uses these mediums to draw viewers from various entry points into the world of a family unit enacting a spring ritual.

With the Father at the helm of this ritual, Dis-order tests the societal line between order and chaos with dark levity. Staged à la Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party, the piece references Jewish symbolism, Greek tragedy, Pina Bausch’s Rite of Spring, and Jungian archetypes via large-scale puppetry by Freak Nature Puppets — all set to live saxophone by Patrick Shiroishi and Nicolas Snyder (Common Side Effects, Adult Swim & Scavengers Reign, HBO).
