Monday Evening Concerts: Skywriting - Beckett, Carson, Glass
Four figures walk a square. They never touch, never speak, never look up. Beckett specified the paths so precisely that avoiding one another becomes the entire drama, and somewhere in the middle of watching it you start recognising your own week. Between the two halves of Quad sits an intermission the program lists as one hundred thousand years, which tells you what sort of evening this intends to be. Anne Carson will be in the room reading her own Lecture on the History of Skywriting, the piece in which the atmosphere itself testifies in the first person about being written on, and she reads it alongside Robert Currie, her longtime collaborator, rather than an actor hired to voice her. Glass's Glassworks closes the night, and after ninety minutes of Beckett's arithmetic those arpeggios land less like minimalism than like mercy. November 2 at Zipper Hall, 200 S Grand Ave, curtain at eight.
