A Richard Foreman/John Zorn music/theater collaboration. Tues & Thrs-Sun. This is the historic first time collaboration for two MacArthur geniuses who have, individually, challenged, enlightened and entertained adventurous audiences for years. "Astronome" is a work dominated by ecstatic groans, grunts and babbling, and explores the initiation of a group of people into a world where ambiguous behavior alone leads to freedom--perhaps under the tutelage of the necessary "false messiah." With Karl Allen, Benjamin Forster, Fulya Peker, Eric Magnus, Morgan von Prelle Pecelli, James Peterson, and Deborah Wallace.
