FAREWELL Square
#midnightmoment
📍Broadway between 41st & 49th Streets
presented by Times Square Arts and guest curated by Nato Thompson with Dreaming in Public
Farewell captures the moment leading up to the departure of a fictional generational ship destined for remote galaxies. Before embarking on a redemptive journey humanity bids Earth goodbye in a choreographed ritual, hoping for survival in leaving the planet to heal itself. Shortly before midnight, allegorically running out of time, the ship emerges as a massive vessel. The dancers mirror the kinetic movement of the ship as well as the human endeavor behind it. Their gestures navigate the liminal space between our world and the unknown frontier.

‘Farewell’ by Bartana captures the moments leading up to the departure of a fictional generation ship destined for remote galaxies. Before embarking on a redemptive journey humanity bids Earth goodbye in a choreographed ritual, hoping for survival in leaving the planet to heal itself.
Shortly before midnight, allegorically running out of time, the ship emerges as a messianic vessel. The dancers mirror the kinetic movement of the ship as well as the human endeavor behind it. Their gestures navigate the liminal space between our world and the unknown future.
