Triptych (Eyes of One on Another)

Thirty years after Robert Mapplethorpe’s death, we still cannot turn away from his photographs. Triptych (Eyes of One on Another) brings together composer Bryce Dessner (The National) and a team of extraordinary collaborators including director Daniel Fish, librettist Korde Arrington, and Roomful of Teeth in a work which — through music, projection, and theatrical lighting — puts us inside the artist’s bold, voracious view of how nature and humans look, touch, feel, hurt, and love one another. Q+A to follow.

Contains mature content.
