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.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
