|
Experiments in Opera presents the World Premiere of Brother Brother, Aaron Siegel's opera about Orville and Wilbur Wright, in the Playhouse at Abrons Arts Center on Fri May 2 and Sat May 3, 2014.
$15 Discounted tickets are available for students.
Scored for percussion, strings, vocal soloists, actors and chorus, this 90-minute opera explores the relationship between Orville and Wilbur Wright following their first flights in 1903. The Wright Brothers’ fascinating story of family drama, business struggles and legal fights is layered over a secondary story of the brothers Red and Blue, which details the challenges of contemporary brotherhood and the complexities of growing up with an unusual idea of brotherly intimacy.
Brother Brother has been in workshops over the last four years with Experiments in Opera and with the Industry in Los Angeles. See this video interview with Aaron to learn more about his inspirations for the work. |

| Art Spiegelman - “What the %@&*! Happened to Comics?” |
|
|
Friday, May 9, 2014
8pm — Sanders Theatre
Art Spiegelman's comics are best known for their scratch-board, illustrative style and controversial content. In his talk “What the %@&*! Happened to Comics?” he takes his audience on a chronological tour of the evolution of comics, all the while explaining the value of this medium and why it should not be ignored.
"… comics echo the way the brain works. People think in iconographic images, not in holograms, and people think in bursts of language, not in paragraphs."
—Art Spiegelman
“Spiegelman has become one of The New Yorker’s most sensational artists …”
—Los Angeles Times
