SITI Company: Café Variations

Café Variations explores longing, passion, love and romance through a collection of related vignettes set within the social arena of a café. Incorporating theater, music, and dance, this new piece is based on the works of playwright Charles Mee, and features Gershwin classics from the Great American Songbook. "Unabashedly romantic…a series of vivid and visceral explorations of life, love, and identity [that] cast Gershwin classics in a new light." (Boston Globe) This award-winning theater company has committed itself to the creation of groundbreaking new works, cross-cultural collaborations, and training young theater artists. Anne Bogart and Tadashi Suzuki combined their unique but complementary acting philosophies to create SITI Company in 1992 to revitalize and redefine contemporary theater in the United States and abroad.
