Composition As Explanation: Eighth Blackbird's recent foray into uncharted aesthetics. An evening performed by Eighth Blackbird, composed by David Lang, directed by Anne Bogart, and with text by Gertrude Stein blurring content and form. 8BB blurs layers of fully produced musical virtuosity, acting, and singing. CAE is a new point of art inquiry. Layered interpretation and perspectives are experienced rather than erudite, thoughtful, clever, humorous, intuitive, insightful, and joyful.
