RAP 2024 RFP Open Now Through January 1, 2024
Look who’s working in the Mabou Mines Theater! The cast of “Barcelona, Map of Shadows” is here working on this new opera in development from Co-Artistic Director Mallory Catlett (@mallorycatlett) and composer Mikael Karlsson (@mika_karlsson), based on the play by Lluïsa Cunillé. “Barcelona, Map of Shadows” tells the mysterious story of the rented rooms in a rented apartment in an upper middle class neighborhood, and its terminally ill lease holder whose dying request is to be left alone with his wife. In 5 perplexing scenes, he and his wife ask their tenants – a French teacher, a second string soccer player/security guard, and an immigrant line cook – to leave, as a radio broadcast of Callas singing “La Boheme” plays intermittently in the background.

Our signature program is back! Mabou Mines` Resident Artist Program (RAP) offers NYC-based, early-career artists the opportunity to work in residence at Mabou Mines over four months to strengthen their practice and experiment with performance ideas. Resident artists receive mentorship, a stipend, rehearsal/performance space, administrative support, and technical assistance. The program includes monthly meetings with artists and mentors, which generate an artistic community through shared ideas in a forum-like setting. RAP culminates in Work-In-Progress Showings presented at Mabou Mines’ 99-seat theater at whatever developmental stage that is most useful to the artists. These showings are free and open to the public.
