WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Conceived and directed by Martha Clarke, Vienna: Lusthaus (revisited) explores the unconscious world of Vienna at the beginning of the 20th century, a time and place where Freud and fascism meet. Through music and dance, fragments of text, and images suggested by the paintings of Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt, the show presents the world from which the art, political ideals, and bloodshed of the 20th century were born. Music is by Richard Peaslee, with text by Charles L. Mee.
