Benjamin, Adorno, Scholem, Schönberg: A Dispute About Art, Music, Identity, Wives, And Pornography
Stanford's Rush Rehm and Kay Kostopolous, along with OBIE award-winner Gerald Hiken, Bay Area pros Ken Sonkin and William Wolak, and London opera star Loré Lixenberg star in this provocative world premiere. Directed by Vienna-based Isabella Gregor, this performance adaptation of Carl Djerassi's genre-bending book Four Jews on Parnassus - a Conversation features the imagined posthumous conversations of Arnold Schoenberg, Walter Benjamin, Gershom Scholem and Theodor Adorno, the art of Paul Klee, student improvisation commenting on the argument and the arguers, and pop and rap numbers.
