Robert Wilson and Lucinda Childs will co-direct Wilson’s I Was Sitting on My Patio This Guy Appeared I Thought I Was Hallucinating at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT), January 26-February 5. First presented in Los Angeles in 1977, the piece is being reinvented to link it solidly with the art of our time.

REDCAT has also announced programming for its Fall 2011 season. Among the theater-related works to be included are Mark Z. Danielewski’s The Fifty Year Sword (October 31), an eerie theatrical presentation of his limited-edition, illustrated ghost story of the same name featuring the devised shadow theater work of Christine Marie & Ensemble; Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine’s A Missionary Position (November 9-13), a satirical response to the rampant homophobia in Uganda; and David J’s Silver for Gold (The Odyssey of Edie Sedgwick) (November 30-December 4), part delirious one-woman show, part avant-garde rock concert replete with eerie video imagery.
