Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner, acclaimed cartoonist Marjane Satrapi, and writer/journalist Rula Jebreal will collaborate with the Kronos Quartet for a piece to be presented as part of the annual PEN World Voices literary festival, according to The New York Times.

The festival, to run April 30-May 6 at various NYC locations, will include works that combine literature and live performance, in addition to the usual panels, readings, and lectures. Among the other planned live events will be a new work from Elevator Repair Service, a staging of John Cage’s 1989 improvisational piece “How to Get Started,” and a puppetry presentation by Processional Arts Workshop, to be performed on the High Line.
