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.
