Marking the centenary of Oscar laureate Andrzej Wajda’s birth, BLOKOWISKO revives a lost cinematic vision. Created by Blanka Barbara Stahl, this contemporary dance-theatre performance weaves live electronic music, immersive three-screen video and socially charged choreography created by Anthony Matsena and performed by Battery Dance, into a powerful narrative. This diplomatic cultural exchange is supported by the Polish Cultural Institute New York, the Polish National Foundation, and the Schubert Foundation.

Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we remember the lives lost and all those that were forever changed.

As a dance organization rooted in Lower Manhattan, Battery Dance carries a deep connection to this place and its history. For 50 years, we have believed in the power of dance to bring people together across borders, cultures, and differences.

On this day of remembrance, we honor those we lost and reaffirm our commitment to building connection, understanding, and peace through the arts.
