More than 150 dancers in white move in silence across Lincoln Center's plaza to mark September 11.

It is the most visually striking public commemoration in the city and it costs nothing to stand and watch. A hundred and fifty dancers in white moving in near-total silence around the plaza fountain is genuinely difficult to look away from. It ends at the moment of the first tower's fall.

What to expect

Arrive well before the start to get a clear view; the plaza fills. The performance runs about half an hour and ends in silence. Standing room only.

Good to know

  • The performance is free and open to all
  • It takes place outdoors on the Lincoln Center plaza
  • Arrive early — sightlines fill quickly
  • The piece runs roughly thirty minutes
  • Nearest subway is 66th Street-Lincoln Center on the 1

Common questions

Do I need a ticket?

No — the performance is free and open to the public.

How long is it?

About thirty minutes, ending at a fixed commemorative moment.
