POLYMATH: La comédie de la Mort
MUSIC | SPOKEN WORD | PHOTOGRAPHY

POLYMATH: La comédie de la Mort is a new interdisciplinary performance installation exploring the concept of Death as the apex Renaissance man. The program embraces the intersection of French expressionism and the queering of 20th-Century horror and features two world premieres of song cycles, prose readings, and a photography exhibit, all created by NYC-based queer artists, presented alongside repertory art songs composed by Henri Duparc and Hector Berlioz.
