B. Madonna – Location, Tickets, Reviews
Directed and choreographed by internationally acclaimed artist and performer Maureen Fleming, B. Madonna receives its New York premiere at La MaMa this season.
Meditating on miracle and loss, B. Madonna presents nine of Fleming’s new and repertory dance pieces, all solo performances. The production transcends cultural boundaries, incorporating aesthetic elements from Eastern and Western traditions, and breaks down barriers between art forms with skillful use of video projections, lighting, text, and music. Fleming’s body is pliable and her movements are slow and fluid. The flowing images she creates, with all kinds of difficult contortion, are poetic and compelling.
Recommended if:
- You are a fan of Maureen Fleming;
- You are a fan of Philip Glass;
- You enjoy delicate dance performances enhanced with multi-media;
- You’re looking for experimental performance that is proven and remarkable; or
- You’re planning a sophisticated evening out or date.
Note: Contains nudity.

New York Theater Review
B. Madonna at La MaMa continually transcended the state of theatrical expectations and constructed a state of perpetual presence which wasn’t unlike the effect of viewing the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls.
