ABOUT THIS SHOW
Experience a musically theatrical, non-linear, and surrealist setting of the poetry of Sylvia Plath & Ted Hughes in Night, like velvet: in twelve letters by Whitney George, performed by The Curiosity Cabinet, an interdisciplinary new music ensemble based in New York. Constraining herself to write one movement during every month of the year, each movement is composed as an anonymous musical letter. Although taken from different periods in each writer’s life, the texts from Plath & Hughes maintain a thematic focus on displacements of time, fragmentation rather than cohesion, and the alternately amorous and strained meanderings of communication between lovers.
