This work-in-progress production by composer Michael Gordon and late theatrical icon Richard Foreman will bring back to life Foreman’s original staging and production, with creative direction by Annie-B Parson and Paul Lazar. The opera offers a commentary on the superficial pressures of society at a moment when our contemporary culture renders Foreman and Gordon’s critiques more cutting than ever. A collaboration between the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Beth Morrison Projects, PROTOTYPE, and Bang on a Can, this historic re-staging honors Foreman’s legacy and confirms Gordon as one of contemporary music’s singular voices.
