As the frontman and sole songwriter of The Strokes, Julian Casablancas helped ignite a depth charge that helped reinvigorate modern music. In 2013, Casablancas morphed into the next stage in his artistic development: The Voidz. Over the course of two albums—the daring 2014 debut album Tyranny and its 2018 follow-up Virtue — The Voidz’ wild genre-splicing was embraced by fans of all genres and critics alike, developing an underground cult following. From experimental and heavy metal to new wave and underground world music, all the way to old school hip-hop beats, indie rock, secret jazz, and classical leanings, The Voidz simply refer to their style (semi-jokingly) as "prison jazz." They’ve also furthered their mutant-pop tendencies via collaborations with like-minded artists as diverse as Daft Punk (Instant Crush, Infinity Repeating), Mac DeMarco (Did My Best), and an original song for Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto.
The Voidz 3rd album Like All Before You will be released September 20, 2024.

The Apollo Works in Process series continues with a powerful three-part contemporary ballet by Jamaican-born dancemaker, Christopher Rudd. Inspired by the 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin, WITNESS blends different styles of dance with contemporary circus, film, and theatricality to put America’s racial landscape into historical context, combat systemically taught racial biases and imagine hope for a more just and equitable future.
Journeying through time and form, Rudd’s dynamic work invites audiences to engage in a conversation about reconciliation and their duty as bystanders.
Dramaturgy by Phaedra Michelle Scott, and intimacy coordination by Sarah Lozoff.
"EXHIBIT is art meeting purpose because now is not the time to be silent. The work is about getting people to use their voices—to get out and vote!" – Regina Taylor
The Apollo Works In Process series continues with a new one-woman play by acclaimed playwright and actor Regina Taylor. EXHIBIT takes us on a gripping journey through history and the present. At its heart is Iris, a powerful artist who relives the memories of a violently fractured civil rights era in America. But these memories are stirred by something unexpected—the resurgence of societal and political forces she never thought she’d witness again. As today’s hard-fought social tides of change are seemingly rolled back, EXHIBIT forces us to confront the echoes of our past in the fierce light of our present.
Winner of the Theatre Aspen Solo Flights Award, EXHIBIT was born at the Hermitage Retreat and is being shared with audiences in cities across the country during this momentous presidential campaign season. This is a play that blends artistry with civic engagement. More than a performance— this work is a movement, a moment, and a message.
Experience this powerful call to action. Be part of the conversation. Be part of the change.
