Program

Witness the first theatrical performance granted permission to explore and integrate work of Robert Mapplethorpe. Reflecting deeply on the continued impact of the late visual artist's photography, this theater piece by librettist Korde Arrington Tuttle and composer Bryce Dessner brings together choral ensemble Roomful of Teeth, the poetry of Patti Smith and Essex Hemphill, and projections of Mapplethorpe’s breathtaking images.
