Description of a Masque (Audio)
Jul 13, 2022
Presented by The Flow Chart Foundation for a Waterfront Wednesday at the Hudson Waterfront Park.
John Ashbery’s zany modern fairy tale of life and how it comes to us, a mash-up of classical mythology and nursery rhyme characters with a touch of noir film banter thrown in: a masque where anything might happen, just like in life itself.
A performance of John Ashbery’s poem “Description of a Masque” (from A Wave) presented by The Flow Chart Foundation, from the July 13, 2022 Waterfront Wednesdays evening at Hudson Waterfront Park, performed by Shanekia McIntosh, Craig Reardon, and Zoe Tuck; “radio play" arrangement of text by Jeffrey Lependorf (Executive Director, The Flow Chart Foundation).
