9/11 Table of Silence

9/11 Table of Silence Terri Gold

The "9/11 Table of Silence," returns to Lincoln Center for the 5th consecutive season, led by Buglisi Dance Theatre joined by 100+ dancers from major companies and schools.   Conceived and choreographed by Jacqulyn Buglisi, in collaboration with Italian visual artist Rossella Vasta, the transcendent "9/11 Table of Silence" is a breathtaking public tribute to 9/11 and a prayer for peace.  The free to the public event starts at 8:20 AM and concludes precisely at 8:46 AM, the moment the first plane hit the North Tower.  Moving to the plaintive cries of the singers, echoes of the flute and conch, and the ritualistic beat of the tympani - a metaphor for the heartbeat - the dancers ascend onto the Plaza forming patterns of concentric circles around the Revson Fountain, symbolizing eternity, purity, and the continuous life cycle.
