Gawain and the Green Knight: Christmas legend, horror story, romance, paean to nature. Set at King Arthur’s court, huddled in luxury on the borders of unforgiving wilderness and forces unknown, this bizarre medieval legend fascinates. Gawain has agreed to have his head chopped off in a year’s time. But why? And can he live up to his promise, or his legendary perfection?

This Christmas-tide, composer Doug Balliett teams up with baroque string band ACRONYM and a formidable cast of singers to present this medieval Christmas tale as a kind of passion play, filled with music, story, and song. Performed at the Camelot-esque performance space at St. Mary’s Church on the lower east side, the audience is immersed in King Arthur’s court, complete with edible dainties, wine and champagne, and sheet music for the choral sing-alongs. Grammy winner Karim Sulayman takes the title role of Gawain, while other major roles are taken by New York luminaries Molly Netter, Jesse Blumberg, Taylor Ward, and more. The highly acclaimed baroque ensemble ACRONYM will bring their characteristic groove and virtuosity.
