The Blue Flower (NYMF)

Max Baumann, a famous German artist dies alone on a park bench in New York City in 1955, leaving behind a fairytale book of collages that come to life on stage with the aid of the 10-piece Weimarband, projected films, and a cast of seven physical actor/singers. The Blue Flower, a unique collaboration between husband-and wife team Jim Bauer (composer/lyricist) and Ruth Bauer (visual artist), is a playful Dada-inspired romp through the memories unleashed at the moment of Max’s death, centering on three friends and lovers he lost and the apparition of events that overwhelmed their lives during World War I and the restless post-war years of the Weimar Republic in Germany.
