Woven into one intimate program, these pieces tell a universal story of lineage, loss and place, and become a meditation on confronting our past while moving forward into the future. Adam Tendler is a recipient of the Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists and won the 2022 Yvar Mikhashoff Prize.
