A full-scale Kabuki theater performance, a large-scale outdoor video installation, and a one-man version of “King Lear” are among the bevy of international performances scheduled for the 2007 Lincoln Center Festival, festival organizers announced yesterday.

In a program designed to “celebrate Western and non-Western classical traditions,” the festival, which begins July 10, will feature artists from 14 countries, including Japan (Kabuki master Nakamura Kanzaburo XVIII and his 100-strong, all-male company Heisei Nakamura-za with their New York premiere of “Renjishi”), Taiwan (the Contemporary Legend Theatre of Taiwan in “King Lear”), and Mongolia (nine artists will perform the eighthour “Secret History of the Mongols”).

American-based artists, however, will have their fair share of representatives. Composer Philip Glass will present the New York premiere of “Book of Longing,” a concert piece based on the work of poet Leonard Cohen. The façade of the New York State Theater will host “Slow Dancing,” a video installation by photographer David Michalek, whose work captures dancers’ movement with the projection of images taken with a 1,000-frameper-second camera. And New York-based band So Percussion will join forces with San Francisco-based electronica duo Matmos in a two-concert collaboration.

But the most highly anticipated element of the festival did not exactly come as a surprise. Performances of the Kirov Opera’s “Der Ring des Nibelungen,” written by Richard Wagner and to be conducted by Valery Gergiev, were announced in October 2005.
