The Cello Player is a dance-music work produced by American Modern Opera Company (AMOC) and led by cellist Coleman Itzkoff and dancer/choreographer Or Schraiber. It excavates the complexity of ancient relationships: the tortured conception of friendship as a messy amalgam of love, hatred, insecurity, and neediness. Joined by dancer Jeremy Coachman, the three performers attempt to share their tales, the scarring curiosity of the unknown, and the haunting sensations that come as a consequence of their actions. This performance is a part of a fundraising evening at The Adams Theater, preceded by a dinner at the nearby Revival House, and followed by at Q&A at The Adams Theater.
