The Difficulty of Crossing a Field
An opera by David Lang and Mac Wellman based on an Ambrose Bierce tale about an inquest into the strange disappearance of an Alabama planter just before the Civil War. Anatomy Theatre
ANATOMY THEATRE is part multimedia opera, part conceptual art installation that conjures a time in which "specialists" traveled from town to town in pre-modern Europe, dissecting the corpses of executed criminals to seek evidence of corruption in the interior of the human body.
A joyous, grisly theatrical event by Pulitzer Prize winning composer David Lang, and world renowned conceptual artist Mark Dion.
