BAM Next Wave Festival 2023

Brooklyn’s creative odyssey returns to BAM in the fall with a dazzling array of groundbreaking work. Next Wave is a definitive haven for today’s most audacious and visionary artists, inviting them to re-define our theatrical spaces and unveil performances that are genre-busting, formally daring, and thought-provoking.

It is a chance for audiences to come together and discover art capable of changing the way they look at—and live in—the world.
