THE HEAD & THE LOAD

Miami, FL – August 25, 2022– Presented by the Arsht Center (@arshtcenter) for three days only during Miami Art Week 2022, William Kentridge’s THE HEAD & THE LOAD invites audiences directly onto the Lynn Wolfson stage of the Ziff Ballet Opera House to be immersed in a powerful story about African people’s role in World War I. With the wings and backstage of the Ziff Ballet Opera House reconfigured to become a unique, site-specific performance space large enough to accommodate this monumental work, the audience will take its place directly on stage for a once-in-a-lifetime theatrical experience. THE FOOTAGE CAPTURED IS A MONTAGE OF THE 4-DAY WORKSHOP SERIES CAPTURED IN THE PRE-PRODUCTION PHASES OF THE PLAY.
