Abraham Brody

Abraham Brody creates unique multidimensional experiences for his audiences. Bringing together music, performance art, and multimedia, he pushes the boundaries between performer and public and challenges the traditional notions of a performer in the 21st century by uniting these three art forms into one cohesive whole.  For him, performance is a vehicle to transform himself and his audiences. Drawing inspiration from the roots, rituals, and folklore of diverse backgrounds, he weaves them into performances combining his own compositions, improvisation, and multimedia works. He has collaborated with renowned performance artist Marina Abramovic, has travelled to far-eastern Siberia in search of shamans, and also creates the bulk of his solo works based on the folklore and music of his Lithuanian roots. He has performed and shown his works in such places as the Barbican Centre London (month-long residency in 2015), The Public Theater New York, Tate Modern, Southbank Centre London, Pace Gallery, Fondation Beyeler Basel, Sziget Festival Budapest, Solyanka VPA Moscow, Vortex Jazz Club London, and Rich Mix London, among others.

During his residency at NS Abraham will present his diverse collaborations from across the world, such as his Moscow based group Pletai, and Lithuanian folk singers Trys Keturiose. 

‘I believe that Abraham’s potential to become a world leader in his field is clear […] he has a powerful talent for engaging the public’-Marina Abramovic

“He has a special power as a performer in that he has united both his skills as a classically-trained musician with the genre of performance art, creating a distinct way of performing that is entirely his own”- Jane Alison, Head of Visual Arts, Barbican Centre London

He will also present work in partnership with NS at HappyLuckyno1 Gallery in Brooklyn.
