SORE
SORE | New Duet by Ashley Pierre-Louis in collaboration with Dominica Greene. Produced by TRIBE.
With initial inspiration stemming from Nicole Krauss’ book entitled To Be A Man – SORE aims to create a safe environment for the performers to live and thrive inside. In this world, explorations within the in-between of “the beginning of [their] sense of self and the chaos of [their] strongest feelings” will take place, culminating in a found unassailable power, rooted in the erotic.

Beyond the Stardust: Silent Disco Remix
The always fabulous and often outrageous DJ and performance duo of Monstah Black and Black! (fka Manchildblack), better known as The Illustrious Blacks, have become the go-to life of the party at venues across the country and around the world. With inspiration taken from David Bowie, George Clinton, Depeche Mode, and Prince, the pair fuses Afrofuturistic disco, funk, and house into an evening of music that is expressive, exciting and truly cosmic.
The Illustrious Blacks’ return to Lincoln Center at this Silent Disco Remix serves as a one-time-only introduction to the duo's new and immersive club musical Beyond the Stardust, jointly conceived by The Illustrious Blacks and Flea Artistic Director, Niegel Smith.
Accompanied by aerialists, dancers, and live singers all outfitted in theatrical costumes, this is a Silent Disco you'll be able to hear from outer space! Beyond the Stardust will have its world premiere at The Flea in September 2026.
The Flea Hops the Pond HANGTIME
The Flea Hops the Pond
Zora Howard’s HANG TIME at the Edinburg International Festival
HANG TIME will be presented at the Edinburgh International Festival as part of a curated series marking America's 250-year history — placing, as the festival puts it, this country's "extreme possibilities" in the spotlight, both its ideals of freedom and its hypocrisies. A stage this wide, a story this real; we couldn't imagine a better fit.
The Perfect Story
The Perfect Story is an original pop theater show that blends fairytale fantasy with commentary on artistic ambition, burnout, and the politics of representation in art. Set in a magical Library where the world’s only book each year is written, the piece follows a young Apprentice determined to write the perfect story and prove herself. She must contend with the Writer, who controls all published stories; the Librarian, who enforces the system; and the Guardian, a loyal keeper of the Library with dreams of changing its broken rules. With original pop music and commercial dance, the show creates a fantastical yet deeply human story about who gets to define “the perfect story.”

Imposter
Imposter is an ensemble-driven, devised theatre experience that explores the selves we construct to survive in spaces that were never built for us: the masks we wear, the names we soften, the history we silence, the languages we lose, and the shame that teaches us to be smaller than we are.
Developed through collaborative storytelling, movement, original music, and deeply personal excavation, the piece asks a simple question: when the mask you built to protect yourself becomes the only face anyone recognizes, who are you underneath?
