At the core of KinoSaito’s physical space, and its mission, is the theater. A 1500sf vaulted space, the theater is the site of original new works of theater and performance, as well works from Kikuo Saito’s theater oeuvre reimagined by contemporary performance groups. Regular programming includes dance performances, film screenings and concert recitals, along with performances, installations and new media work by artists in residence and visiting artists and companies.

La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club

Higher Eyes on Aricama

Performer | Maria Camia
Piano | Aaron Banes

Maria Camia will perform Higher Eyes on Aricama, a 45-minute solo-performance with four 4’x4’ colorful paintings / Toy Theater sets, hand puppets, costume, and a live pianist. The story follows two flower humanoids, Ari and Cama, as their attention spans shatter into infinite altered dimensions causing their homeland Aricama, the land of practice, play, and healing, to turn into dust. Will they release themselves from their attachments or lose everything they worked for? Maria explores dreams, phone addiction, and a message from the body.

La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club is dedicated to the artist and all aspects of the theatre. They are a creative home to artists and audiences from around the world and a dynamic hub for risk-taking performance.
