The Fisher Center at Bard
December 16-18

A new, very SITI adaptation of Christmas Carol, inspired by listening to Welles’s 1939 Christmas Eve show with Lionel Barrymore and reading Dickens’ original novella. Reimagining and reanimating the intimacy and alchemy of that 1930s recording studio, SITI conjures the ghosts of the past, present and future to speak to our society’s immediate need for gratitude, charity, fairness, justice and equity.  The performance of a seasonal ritual offers hope and redemption for us all.
