Folded poster for performances of Alwin Nikolais’s Totem at the Henry Street Playhouse, New York, from February 1-18, 1962. An early repertory engagement, following its premiere in 1960, of a work that helped establish Nikolais as one of the most innovative theatrical experimentalists of the early 1960’s. Credits include Murray Louis (assistant), George Constant (color design), and Nicola Cernovich (lighting), with performers Gladys Bailin, Phyllis Lamhut, Bill Frank, Murray Louis, Beverly Jen, Albert Reid, Peggy Barclay, Ray Broussard, Barbara Bull, Sally Cohen, Carol Feldman, Mimi Garrard, Mary McKay, Peggy Novey, and Roger Rowell. Folded as issued with light rubbing and light stress at several fold intersections, including a short separation at the top right seam; nonetheless a bright, well-preserved example. A striking piece of early Nikolais ephemera from the period in which his multimedia dance-theatre innovations were first reshaping American modern dance. Approximately 8.5” x 22”. Will ship folded.
