Synopsis

“Things as They Are” is a dramatic exploration of poet Wallace Stevens, a
stoic visionary whose imagination and duality have lent him an unwavering
mystique. This all-new work combines dramatic scenes, an original score
performed by Ben Chasny (of the acclaimed group Six Organs of Admittance),
and licensed works by Stevens with movement, commedia dell’arte, and
projections. “Things as They Are” looks past the stock image of its subject
as an aloof executive, revealing the “real” Wallace Stevens to be a man of
great insight, whimsy, and desire.
