L’Alliance New York announces upcoming performances of Kimberly Bartosik’s bLUr, set for Friday, January 9, 2026 at 9PM and Monday, January 12, 2026 at 7PM at Le Skyroom, L’Alliance New York, 22 E. 60th Street, 8th Floor, NYC. Tickets start at $15 and can be purchased here.
Back after its stunning, sold-out world premiere as part of the 2025 Crossing The Line Festival, co-presented at New York Live Arts, choreographer Kimberly Bartosik’s bLUr comes to L’Alliance New York as part of New York Live Arts’ Live Artery performance festival. Built in cycles of desire and fierce compassion, bLUr exists within a landscape of physical and emotional crisis. Five performers of exquisite humanity navigate urgent interventions as time warps and haunts, reminding us of our fragility, power, and need to care for and rescue one another.
Run Time: 50 minutes
