World Premiere Spring 2026 La MaMa
Coup... is the latest work by Stefanie Batten Bland, which has been awarded the 2024 NYSCA and 2023 Creative Capital funding. The work examines how we navigate space as individuals and collectively, and how we welcome others. This immersive world is centered in a modular labyrinth we can go through or watch as others do. Spectators are invited into fantastical worlds as witness or participant in real-time performative tipping points throughout their journey. In conversation with the Greek labyrinth of the Minotaur, Coup... asks what do seen and unseen rules have in common? How do we flex inside a framework? What rules do we follow when we are left to our own devices?
