Sliding Scale: Starting at $5

La MaMa and CultureHub team up with Nashi Experimental Theatre Club to create a special edition of Downtown Variety, an online live performance series that features short acts of dance, music, theater, new media, comedy, A/V performance, and more. Downtown Variety brings La MaMa's 1960s café aesthetic to a virtual platform that links performers and audiences in real time across distance.

Join an interactive livestream showcasing five emerging Ukrainian multidisciplinary theatre companies on the virtual stage. Downtown Variety: Ukraine Edition gives international audiences a unique window into the true experiences of Ukrainians living under the shadow of war. Experience the bravery and creativity it takes to create in the face of destruction.

Featuring performances by Schmalgauzen, Vidlik Projects, Tinyova, AMÆNTES, and Dima Levytskyi
Direction by Romana Isabella Soutus
