LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, in collaboration with Eclipses Group Theater NY, presents The Trojan Women, Euripides’ searing anti-war tragedy. Featuring a multicultural cast of professional actors, live music, and a new English translation by co-artistic director Demetri Bonaros, this large-scale production brings fresh urgency to an ancient classic.
Set in the aftermath of Troy’s fall, the play follows Queen Hecuba and the women of Troy as they face loss, enslavement, and exile. A powerful meditation on war, displacement, and the abuse of women and children, The Trojan Women remains a devastating portrait of violence and its lasting human cost.

OCEAN SONGS | an interactive Gaia House Show
Join us for OCEAN SONGS, an immersive, interactive Gaia Music Collective experience where sound and water intertwine.
For this special evening, our artists will dive into the theme of the Ocean and Water, exploring its vastness, power, and fluidity through music. The ocean can be fierce or gentle, deep or expansive, steady or ever-changing—just like song. Expect waves of harmony, moments of stillness, and invitations to move, listen, and sing along.
As always, Gaia shows are interactive, meaning you’re not just an audience member—you’ll be invited to be part of the music. Whether through call-and-response, movement, or collective soundscapes, we’ll create something ephemeral and alive together
