the task of the work of art…

“my name is eddie and i plan to escape to poetry city.”
In 12 days, I’ll begin rehearsing my next show, Richard Foreman‘s Eddie Goes to Poetry City for The Catastrophic Theatre. I’m directing and designing this script for the second time, nearly 30 years after my first attempt.
I made these posters for The Catastrophic Theatre‘s production of Richard Foreman‘s Eddie Goes to Poetry City , which I directed and designed in 2023. They were small details adding to the visual overload of the set, but I’m fond of them, and wanted them to have a life outside the fading memory of as theater audience.
