East River Commedia is a group of international artists who collaborate
on the production and development of ensemble-based performance works and festivals in New York City and abroad. Recognizing the need for greater international representation in theater and performing arts in New York, the company works closely with international artists, consulates and cultural organizations to reach out to the city's many communities.
In addition, the members of ERC believe in the importance of a wide scope of influence and audience, and are committed to productions, tours, and residencies in foreign countries as an integral part of the group’s ongoing development.The company is interested in theater that emerges at the crossroads of poetry, music and gesture. In these forms, we seek to explore human desires—for power, love, belonging and possession—and to uncover the contradictory and mysterious drives that bind audience and performer,
parent and child, individual and society.
Our most powerful tool is laughter, a kind of laughter that Fellini calls:
“...the intention of the real—that is, the deepest and most honest—writers of comedy,” authors who want “only to tear open our most painful scars so that we feel them all the more strongly.”
