A New York Times Critic’s pick production “Many Happy Returns” is a dance version of a memory play. With movement and language, Monica Bill Barnes and Robbie Saenz de Viteri create a shared character: a woman in the middle of her life who moves with total clarity but can’t stop revealing the doubt she’s desperate to dance over. “An experiment in the art of camaraderie and connection, of strangers finding community in a broken world,” (The New York Times) “Many Happy Returns” is a hilarious, heart-warming look back at who we thought we were and a communal search for solace in who we’ve become.

After a sold out premiere in 2025 the NYTimes Critic’s Pick “Lunch Dances” is returning to the New York Public Library for a four week run!
It's your lunch hour. Step away from your desk and into the working world of the library. The collaborative team of Monica Bill Barnes and Robbie Saenz de Viteri have taken their motto of "bringing dance where it doesn't belong" to heart and created a show in the least likely of places, the New York Public Library. Audiences wear headphones for the hour-long performance, tuning them into the personal stories and meaningful movements that may dwell in any corner of the collections. Wear good shoes, it's time to go for a walk, then back to work.
Admission is free, but registration is required. Join NYPL Newsletter and MBB&CO Mailing list to know when tickets are live!
