A Performa 11 Premiere co-presented with The Kitchen
Curated by Mark Beasley
A pioneer of opera-for-television and mixed media musical theater Robert Ashley presents the New York premiere of his iconic opera, That Morning Thing (1967), directed by Fast Forward. Consisting of three acts with men’s and women's speaking voices and eight dancers, the opera dramatizes the psychology of intimate but anonymous stories that the artist solicited from friends. That Morning Thing first premiered at the ONCE Festival in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1968.
