Here’s The Plot: A proletarian couple caricatured in their humble and garish dwelling. He only wishes to sip his beer while she is driven to sartorial and romantic excesses approved by popular culture. Wilson’s stage design includes numerous large plastic objects which repeatedly engage the couple’s exaggerated interest for a short while and then are discarded by them.
Vital Statistics: Choreography by Murray Louis, scenery by Robert Wilson. The music is a collage of popular and operatic pieces. Premiered on November 11, 1964.
