The product of a collaboration between Lincoln Center Festival and the Mayfield estate, this one-night-only event pays tribute to the late Curtis Mayfield, an iconic Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member whose music served as a soundtrack to the civil rights movement, introducing poetry and moral affirmation into pop, soul, funk, and R&B. A roster of special guest artists from across decades and styles joins The Impressions, the inimitable vocal soul group Mayfield led early in his career, along with a 14-piece house band under the musical directorship of guitarist Binky Griptite The Impressions Mavis Staples Aloe Blacc of the funk-infused Dap-Kings.

Mayfield started his career in the 1960s as a self-taught guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, penning such hits as “Gypsy Woman” and the now-classic “People Get Ready.” Following his departure from The Impressions, he found solo success in the 1970s, including 1972’s chart-topping album Super Fly, his adroitly crafted soundtrack to the blaxploitation film of the same name. In the decades that followed, Mayfield worked on his own label Curtom Records and produced for artists like Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight. Mayfield died in 1999 at age 57, nine years after he was left paralyzed from the neck down by a tragic accident during a concert in Brooklyn.

This concert also celebrates the launch of the Curtis Mayfield Foundation, created by the Mayfield family as a way to help “Curtis Mayfield is to soul music what Bach was disadvantaged youth realize their musical dreams. to the classics and Gershwin and Irving Berlin

6 LincolnCenterFestival.org 212.721.6500 7 “Thanks to Saariaho’s silvery, shimmering instrumentation… even multilayered masses of chord stay transparent and diaphanous.” —Die Presse (Austria)

Émilie is a modern one-singer, multimedia tour de force about an extraordinary woman: French Enlightenment thinker Émilie du Châtelet. Émilie was many things: the brilliant physicist who first defined kinetic energy; mistress to Voltaire, among other luminaries; a prodigious mathematician and the translator of Newton’s Principia Mathematica; the author of a treatise on the happiness of women; a pioneer of what are now called financial derivatives, which she invented in part to pay off a $1 million debt to card sharks accrued in an unlucky night gambling—all achieved before she died in childbirth in 1749, when she was 42.

Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho is one of the most influential of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Her signa- ture style was largely influenced by her years studying in Paris at IRCAM, where she learned unique techniques to blend live music with electronic effects. Here, she uses elevated speech and soaring melodic arcs to convey her heroine’s rumination on life and the universe, from the tiny new life inside her womb to the vastness of interstellar space, as Émilie struggles with her place in a universe larger than most of us ever contemplate.

World-renowned soprano Elizabeth Futral performs the title role with elegant depth and extreme technical skill, singing almost continuously for the entire 75-minute work. Futral unfolds her character under the direction of Marianne Weems, best known as the artistic director of The Builders Association, whose work exploits the richness of contemporary technologies to extend the boundaries of theater.

8 LincolnCenterFestival.org 212.721.6500 9 NATIONAL THEATRE OF SCOTLAND

One of Shakespeare’s most deeply psychological plays is given a riveting, utterly original reimagining by the National Theatre of Scotland. Tony Award–winning Scottish star of stage, film, and television Alan Cumming returns to Lincoln Center with a one-man interpretation of Shakespeare’s Scottish play.

Directed by John Tiffany and Andrew Goldberg, this Macbeth is set in the clinical green-tiled room of a psychiatric ward in which Cumming is the lone patient, inhabiting each role himself, including some of Shakespeare’s most complex and troubled characters.

Cumming and Tiffany last joined forces on The Bacchae, with Cumming in the role of Dionysus—“a role he was born to perform,” wrote the New York Times—during Lincoln Center Festival 2008.

And so it has been for years, until Sonya’s father and his new wife turn this bucolic scene into a hotbed of disillusionment and consuming unrequited love.

Tamás Ascher directs Anton Chekhov’s classic with exceptional warmth, humor, and insight, in a dazzling, star-studded, and often uproariously funny production by the Sydney Theatre Company, which rose to international prominence under the artistic leadership of Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton.

Ascher’s production of Chekhov’s Ivanov was praised during Lincoln Center Festival 2009 for its “earthy, vigorous staging” and “rough-and-tumble spirit in which the laughs emerge seamlessly out of the bleakness” (New York Times).

12 LincolnCenterFestival.org 212.721.6500 13 DMITRY KRYMOV LABORATORY

Mikhail Baryshnikov returns to Lincoln Center Festival in a moving story of exile and love directed by theatrical visionary Dmitry Krymov. Adapted by Krymov himself from the 1940 Russian novella by Nobel laureate Ivan Bunin, In Paris is the tale of two Russian immigrants—he, a former general of the White Army; she, a beautiful woman, by many years his junior—who meet by chance in Paris in the 1930s.

Baryshnikov, one of the most legendary and versatile performers of our time, is joined here by Russian actress Anna Sinyakina, along with a talented ensemble. This production reflects the celebrated visual arts background of Krymov, a leader among the new generation of Russian directors. Designed in black and white with giant photographs that serve as both scenery and props—amid which the ensemble performs the original musical score—Krymov’s staging creates a dynamic setting for a haunting piece of poetic theater.

For this New York appearance, TAO presents two works. One of these, called 2, is a duet developed from the rhythms of the spoken word; the performers recorded their own conversations during rehearsal and daily life to develop the accompanying soundscape with Chinese folk-rock musician-composer Xiao He. The resulting performance is both hypnotic and thought- provoking, as virtuosic patterns emerge from minimalistic movements to represent two souls in conversation. The other work, 4, is the company’s newest creation, a high-impact and intensely physical piece for four women, seen here in its North American premiere.

16 LincolnCenterFestival.org 212.721.6500 17 An empire at stake; two powerful men in love with the same “Unparalleled musical beauty and dramatic power.” exquisite, inscrutable woman; and a plot that will change the course of history. Feng Yi Ting is the historic account of Diao —Le Monde on Guo Wenjing Chan, a legendarily beautiful woman who was the central figure in a dangerous rivalry. This classic Chinese story of love, corruption, and political intrigue is retold under the direction of Canadian film and theater director Atom Egoyan, who returns to the Festival following his work in 2008 directing Liam Neeson in Beckett’s “Eh Joe.”

Guo Wenjing—one of China’s most important contemporary composers, whose opera Night Banquet was praised as “wonderfully strange and ultimately involving” (New York Times) at Lincoln Center Festival 2002—depicts the fateful moment when Diao and her lover meet in the Feng Yi Ting, or “Phoenix Pavilion,” where she encourages him to eliminate his rival and thus save the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Written for two singers—a Beijing opera tenor and a Sichuan opera soprano, plus a small ensemble—Guo’s spellbinding score combines Chinese and Western musical instruments and traditions to create music that is unmistakably contemporary but also evocative of something ancient, echoed through set designs by Tony-winning Derek McLane; costumes by Han Feng, known for her work on The ’s Madama Butterfly; and video by Hong Kong–based visual artist Tsang Kin-wah.

18 LincolnCenterFestival.org 212.721.6500 19 THÉÂTRE VIDY-LAUSANNE “A wonderful spectacle that delights children and fascinates adults…delicate, serious, spellbinding.” —Le Figaro It starts with hands: his father’s hands, his brothers’, his countrymen’s, and above all his own. Told through wordless, utterly playful scenes featuring hand puppets, poetic music, and striking visuals, Hand Stories is Chinese puppeteer Yeung Faï’s deeply personal family history during the vast changes that swept China during the 20th century.

Hand Stories is a magical hour-long show that brilliantly inter- weaves modern multimedia effects with the ancient Chinese puppetry tradition.

Yeung Faï unravels his own autobiographical story, which takes him from China to the streets of Hong Kong, Brazil, and Europe, through traditional depictions of concubines, tigers, and warriors—plus a vision of a guardian angel in the form of a fan of the 1980s rock band Queen.

Yeung Faï is part of the fourth generation of his family to deal with the startlingly expressive form of traditional Chinese hand puppeteering. Hand Stories joins Faï with French puppeteer Yoann Pencolé and a creative team that includes the intense visual design of Taiwan’s Yilan Yeh and with the original music of Colin Offord of Australia.
