Table of Silence Project 9/11

Lincoln Center in partnership with Buglisi Dance Theatre honor the 23rd year since the events of 9/11, and the current crises that face humanity today, with a livestreamed performance of the Table of Silence Project 9/11, an annual free public performance ritual and call to action for Peace conceived and choreographed in 2011 by Jacqulyn Buglisi, Artistic Director of Buglisi Dance Theatre.
The live performance takes place in New York City on the Josie Robertson Plaza at Lincoln Center on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 8:10AM. Envisioned as a multicultural performance ritual for peace, the "Table of Silence Project 9/11", awakens compassion and unity, bridging all cultural and geographical boundaries through a shared experience of resilience. As the work continues to evolve, it remains a potent healing ritual, confronting the urgent challenges of our time and standing as a voice for those enduring systemic oppression.
The conch sounds the call to action, recognizing the indigenous land we stand on. Accompanied by the hauntingly beautiful the sounds of violin, flute, saxophone, trumpet, bells, vocalists, and the resonant "heartbeat" of bass drums, the dancers form patterns of concentric circles around the iconic Revson Fountain to create an ancient Peace Labyrinth while repeating 12 symbolic ritualistic gestures. This sacred landscape becomes filled with the transcendent energy of the Mandala for healing, peace and harmony. At precisely 8:46 a.m., the dancers will raise their arms skyward in a powerful gesture of universal peace.
Artistic collaborators include Buglisi Dance Theatre, Bell Master/Principal Dancer Terese Capucilli, Visual Artist Rossella Vasta, Composer/Violin Daniel Bernard Roumain, Conch/Flute John Ragusa, Conch/Trumpet Pamela Fleming, Percussionists Jeremy Smith and Stahv Danker, Film/Livestream Producer Nel Shelby and Nel Shelby Productions, and over 150 dancers for peace.
The Table of Silence Project 9/11 is A PROJECT OF ARNHOLD DANCE INNOVATION FUND and is achieved through community partnerships with Chelsea Factory, The Juilliard School, Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, Martha Graham Dance Center, Hunter College, Dance/NYC, Steps on Broadway, among others.
“Scattering the seeds of hope, we recognize the need for healing, compassion, and the courage that it takes to make change.” - Jacqulyn Buglisi
