Triptych (Eyes of One on Another)

In this new performance piece, music, poetry and photography come together in a theatrical context, exploring the impact photographer Robert Mapplethorpe’s work had on the lives and careers of composer Bryce Dessner (The National) and librettist Korde Arrington Tuttle. Through music, large-scale projection of Mapplethorpe’s images and the poetry of Tuttle, Essex Hemphill and Patti Smith, this extraordinary work allows the audience to peer inside Mapplethorpe’s bold, insatiable view of how human beings look, touch, feel, hurt and love one another.
