SUMMARY:Kaatsbaan Cultural Park presents New Work Preview: Baldwin et Lucien
DESCRIPTION:Kaatsbaan Cultural Park presents a New Work Preview: Baldwin et Lucien on Saturday, April 18 at 7PM at 120 Broadway Tivoli, NY 12583. Tickets are free and can be reserved here.\nExperience the Broadway-bound original play (with music) Baldwin et Lucien by playwright and actor R. Jahan. Set in the winter of 1952 in a secluded chalet in Loeche-les-Bains, Switzerland, Baldwin et Lucien is a surrealist drama that imagines an intimate chapter in the life of a young James Baldwin and his one true love, Lucien Happersberger. Moving fluidly between memory, fantasy, and emotional confrontation, the play explores race, exile, queer love, language barriers, artistic creation, and the haunting presence of the past.\nA reception for audience members and the cast and crew of the production will happen at 6PM in the Lobby Gallery. A talkback with production members and audience will follow the showing.\n\n Jahan is a multi-hyphenate artist—actor, playwright, and model—known for excavating bold, emotionally charged narratives that center queer identity, racial complexity, and the pursuit of truth in art. A graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA), Jahan trained in both stage and film performance before expanding into playwriting, where their work merges poetic intensity with deep psychological, magical surrealism.\n\nAbout Kaatsbaan Cultural Park\nThe mission of Kaatsbaan Cultural Park is to provide an extraordinary environment for cultural innovation and excellence by providing artists at any stage of their careers with creative residencies at state-of-the-art facilities, and presenting audiences and communities with annual festivals, educational programs, and events. As both an incubator for creativity and presenter for world-class artists in dance, theater, music, film, spoken and written word, and culinary and visual arts, Kaatsbaan provides artists with state-of-the-art dance studios, accommodations, an indoor theater, and outdoor stages. Sited on 153 Hudson River-adjacent acres, Kaatsbaan is free of urban facilities’ space and time constraints, allowing for exciting levels of artistic exploration, creative action, and achievement—just two hours north of New York City.\nKaatsbaan Cultural Park is committed to the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the arts as we aim to present, promote, and embrace programming that accurately reflects our society. We encourage a broadly diverse group of individuals to participate in our programs and join our Board and Staff, and insist on being inclusive of all peoples regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, socio-economic background, or physical or mental ability.\n\n
