Paul Zimet and Ellen Maddow of Talking Band at it again, this time inside the galleries of the @whitneymuseum.

As part of the 2026 Whitney Biennial, BEING MOVED by Maia Chao plays with the choreography of a museum visit, the looks, the pauses, the quiet rules we all follow without thinking. It’s less about what’s on the walls, more about how we move through it all.

“Beautiful and compelling. . . The Door Slams, A Glass Trembles will draw you in and have you looking at your life and your time past, present, and future. The ensemble is perfection. Paul Zimet’s direction flows.” – Holli Harms, @thefrontrownyc

Join us this Sunday, May 3 after the 4pm performance for a special post-show talkback. Moderated by Rosemary Quinn, Director of the NYU Experimental Theatre Wing, the conversation will feature Paul Zimet, Ellen Maddow, and members of the cast.

Hailed by The New York Times as “one of the boldest and most venerable politically minded companies in New York,” Talking Band returns to La MaMa with their newest work, THE DOOR SLAMS, A GLASS TREMBLES.

A couple moves from the city seeking respite, but soon time becomes disjointed, layering past, present, and imagined. A sanatorium in the Alps. A ship to Egypt. A country home. An accidental death.

Richly textured music–theater. Striking visual imagery. 50 years of avant–garde brilliance.

🗓️ April 24 – May 10, 2026
📍 The Downstairs @ La MaMa, 66 E 4th Street
🎟️ $40 Adults | $35 Students/Seniors | $10 La MaMa Members
