From the press release:
Blessed Unrest proudly presents the world premiere of Body Unredacted, created by the ensemble, in collaboration with playwrights Damen Scranton and Laura Wickens, and conceived of, directed and choreographed by Jessica Burr, running May 9 – 17, 2026 in a limited engagement at The Makers’ Space, located at 281 North 7th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Opening night is May 9.
A surgeon finds her heart, a painter exposes the raw humanity of his models, love is found in corners, and siblings chase the moon across space and time. Body Unredacted digs into flesh, organs, bones, into the art, science and lived experience of the human body. The show traces journeys of undying love, prophesy, belonging, and all the scars and inconceivably beautiful things that lie beneath.
The cast includes Jeanette Bednar, Hilary Brown-Istrefi, Gagarin, Jonathon Qualls, Rachael Richman and Can M. Yasar.
Performances are Sat 5/9 at 7:30pm, Sun 5/10 at 5pm, Mon 5/11 at 7:30pm, Thu 5/14 at 7:30pm, Sat 5/16 at 7:30pm and Sun 5/17 at 5pm. Opening Night Reception on 5/9, Mother’s Day Reception on 5/10, Post-show Talkback on 5/14 and Closing Night Reception on 5/17. Run time is approximately 90 minutes. Tickets are $28.22 (includes fees).

The Makers’ Space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is only one train stop from Manhattan and is a 6-minute walk from the Bedford Ave stop on the L train.
Blessed Unrest is a subversive physical theater ensemble that transforms new and classic plays into channels for unexpected alchemy, energetic discomfort, and complex articulation. Through a dedicated and diverse ensemble, international collaborations, and a rigorous training and devising process, they are fueled by the innate human desire to collaborate, the thrill of the impossible challenge, and the instinctual need to rebel.

Anyone going to Blessed Unrest? Curious if I should buy tickets or not
My friend saw it and mentioned most of the cast got fully nude, only two of the women did not. I didn’t want to press her for more details but it sounds like the nude scenes were lengthy.
