Make Time for adaku, part 2 at BAM This November

BAM Fisher hosts *adaku, part 2* from November 11–15, 2026. The Next Wave dance-theater work comes from sweat variant, the collaborative practice of Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born. The practical choice is which performance fits your week—and how to leave 90 uninterrupted minutes for it.

With five performances scheduled, you’ll want to consider your preferred date, ticket fees, and how to make the most of your 90-minute, uninterrupted visit. Here’s what to know before you plan your night at BAM Fisher’s Fishman Space.

The Creative Premise

BAM describes a young woman in a near-future United States who receives transmissions after being taught that she has no history worth remembering. The work explores memory, inheritance and a family’s entanglement with the transatlantic slave trade. It extends the trilogy introduced with *adaku, part 1* in 2023. If that context interests you, follow BAM’s link to the earlier production; this article does not assess the new work’s staging or tell you how its story ends.

When deciding whether it suits your group, read the creators’ description rather than expecting a conventional play or a familiar sequence of dance numbers. Ask BAM about any age recommendations or content information you need, then share that information with the people joining you. A shared understanding of what is being presented is more useful than promising everyone the same reaction.

Performance Dates and Times

BAM Fisher’s Fishman Space will host five performances of "adaku, part 2" on the following dates and times:

• Wednesday, November 11 at 7:30pm
• Thursday, November 12 at 7:30pm
• Friday, November 13 at 7:30pm
• Saturday, November 14 at 7:30pm
• Sunday, November 15 at 3:00pm

Each performance runs for approximately 90 minutes with no intermission. For the opening evening, plan around a 7:30pm start and a roughly 9pm finish. Choose one performance in the official ticket selector; these are separately ticketed shows, not continuous programming across the date range.

Ticketing and Fees

Tickets for "adaku, part 2" start at $45. If you purchase online or by phone, BAM applies a $3 facility fee and an $8 handling fee per ticket. Buying in person at the box office incurs only the $3 facility fee. Since ticket inventory and total costs can change, it’s a good idea to reconfirm availability and your final total before completing your purchase. The official ticket selector on BAM’s website allows you to choose your preferred date and seat.

Venue Details and Getting There

BAM Fisher’s Fishman Space is located at 321 Ashland Place in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. BAM’s visitor page lists several subway options, including the B, Q, R, 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains to Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center, and the G train to Fulton Street. If you’re planning your route, check MTA schedules for any service changes that might affect your trip.

BAM’s visitor information page provides details on building entry, nearby dining, and neighborhood amenities. If you have questions about accessibility, late seating, or specific needs, reach out to BAM directly before your visit. The venue’s policies and available services may change, so confirming in advance is recommended.

Planning Your Evening

Since "adaku, part 2" runs for 90 minutes without intermission, consider your timing for dinner or drinks before or after the show. Fort Greene offers a range of options within walking distance of BAM Fisher. If you’re attending the Sunday matinee, you might plan for a late lunch or early dinner nearby.

Arrive early to allow time for ticket pickup, security, and finding your seat. BAM’s policies on late seating can vary by event, so it’s wise to ask in advance if you anticipate arriving after the scheduled start time. If sightlines or a particular seating position matter to you, ask before purchasing rather than inferring the view from the room’s size.

What to Confirm Directly

• Ticket inventory and total cost before purchase
• Accessibility accommodations and late seating policies
• Any schedule changes or special entry requirements
• Age recommendations or content advisories, if relevant to your group

BAM’s website and box office staff can provide the most current information. If you have specific questions about the performance or venue, contacting BAM directly is the best way to ensure your plans go smoothly.

Before You Go

Choose the performance date first, then keep the ticket confirmation and building address together. BAM has several venues, and this production is at Fisher rather than the opera house or Harvey Theater. Share that distinction with anyone you are meeting.

A practical plan leaves room on both sides of the show: enough time to reach the correct entrance before it starts, and a flexible meal or trip home afterward. If you are coordinating several people, agree on the ticket purchase before reserving dinner. A restaurant booking should fit the performance you actually bought, not a time remembered from another BAM event.
