fall of the rebel angels: X

June 2015

​ Governors Island, New York



“Fall of the Rebel Angels” is an evening-length interdisciplinary work for 5 performers inspired by the Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, and created by Catherine Galasso with music and sound design by Adam Bach. Using Rubens’ paintings as thematic scaffolding, the project investigates visceral physicality, sensuality and the spectacular. The project manifests as an ongoing series of performance “studies" created for diverse sites and and an evolving cast.



Performed by: Meghan Frederick, Keith McDermott, Kristopher Pourzal, Saori Tsukada and Mei Yamanaka 
Concept and Direction: Catherine Galasso
Music and Sound Design: Adam Bach
Live Music: Adam Bach and Ellery Royston

Visual Consultant: Ben Finer
