THE DEEPEST YES: STIEGLITZ & O'KEEFFE To Perform At Teatro Paraguas
Zephyr Stage continues their tour, heading to New Mexico.
Zephyr Stage, from the hometown of Fruita, Colorado, is heading to Santa Fe with their new show "The Deepest Yes: Stieglitz & O’Keeffe."
"The Deepest Yes: Stieglitz & O’Keeffe” was written and is performed by ZS Executive Director Valerie Nuzzo and Resident Actor Kim Nuzzo. Inspired by the lives and letters of artist Georgia O’Keeffe and her husband - the father of modern American photography, Alfred Stieglitz. This hour and twenty-minute-long chemical reaction blends a tempestuous love story with echoes of Faust and the spirit of modernist rebellion.
Alfred told Georgia that if she wanted to understand him, she'd need to read Faust. He meant it - navigating choices that blur fame and shame, love and legacy. Expect poetry, haunting imagery, addiction, a little nudity and a furious unraveling — artistic, spiritual and personal, all accompanied by one-man band, and Associate Director of Zephyr Stage – Finn Benham.
