Rimini Protokoll's All Right. Good Night. is a documentary theatre work linking meditation, loss, the mystery of dementia, and Flight MH370.
Acclaimed docu-theater artist Helgard Haug interweaves the vanishing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 with the slow decline of a mind with dementia, mirroring globally and personally experienced forms of ambiguous loss. How do we make the missing tangible? What remains when presence disappears?
On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished mid-flight—an event that remains one of aviation’s greatest mysteries. In All right. Good night., Haug interweaves this unfathomable disappearance with a deeply personal story: her father’s slow fading into dementia.
Through documentary storytelling, and a live score by Barbara Morgenstern and the Zafraan Ensemble, the production transports audiences to a realm unreachable by research, transforming loss into an evocative theatrical experience.
NYU Skirball holds close James Baldwin’s dictum that “artists are here to disturb the peace.” Our mission is to present adventuresome, transdisciplinary work that inspires yet frustrates, confirms yet confounds, entertains yet upends. We proudly embrace renegade artists who surprise, productions that blur aesthetic boundaries, and thought leaders who are courageous, outrageous, and mind-blowing. We are NYU’s largest classroom. We want to feed your head.
