Performance Space 122 presents the World Premiere of
“What If Saori Had a Party?”
John Moran & Saori
With Katie Brook and Joseph Keckler

"I am convinced that there is no more important composer working today, than John Moran. His works have been so advanced as to be considered revolutionary."
-Phillip Glass

Saori portrays a magical, Anime-Children's Show-Host, sealed forever inside a protective, computerized-bubble. Trouble begins one day as Saori decides to have a birthday party; and 'Death' (Joseph Keckler) arrives to deliver the present of 'Youth' (Katherine Brook). This is Moran trademark style of full-length, high precision music-theater; delivered by 3 masters of the craft: Saori Tsukada, Joseph Keckler and Katherine Brook. This commission by Performance Space 122 also marks the 20th anniversary of Moran's work, which began at P.S.122 with his groundbreaking techno-opera, 'Jack Benny!', in 1987-88.

More about John Moran…
"Moran is a modern-day Mozart, on a mission to revolutionize music and theater." - The Boston Globe
"[Moran's work]…stays in the mind as phenomenally imaginative music-theater: dizzying lipsynch' theatrics, intricate staging and mournful, minimalist patterns combine to create an operatic world unlike any other." - The New York Times
"One of most important (and underrated) figures in the avant garde scene." - Timeout
"Moran is a bonafide, American original. He has forged a path as singular (and enduring) as his electronic, god daddy [Glass]" - NY Newsday
