2) Also today, 10.12: As part of the free Prelude 11 performance workshop (10.12-10.14), Daniel Fish's "A supposedly FUN THING I'll never do again: (after david foster wallace) will be performed from 7-8p at the James Gallery of the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center (365 Fifth Avenue). Here's the write-up:
"Drawing exclusively from audio recordings of David Foster Wallace (readings he gave of his short fiction, essays, and an extensive interview he did for German television), Daniel Fish and a small ensemble of actors seek to re-create the amazing presence Wallace brought to everything he wrote about, be it professional tennis, a boy's thirteenth birthday, or America's obsession with entertainment. The selection, order, and tempo of the recordings are mixed live and sent to each actor's Mp3 device during the performance. Wallace’s work as translated by the performers is like the garment of a dear, dead friend: an artifact that simultaneously and dramatically evokes his presence and his absence, asking us: How present can we be? How generous in the way we experience the cacophony of our world?"
Experimental theatre! Who knows? I would be happy seeing a staging of Eschaton for free.
