English www.leebreuer.dog
La Divina Caricatura, is part of the artist Lee Breuer’s canon of personal works called, I Don’t Want to Change Your Mind, I Want To Change Your Music. Much like Whitman’s Leaves of Grass this a life-long body of work that he has been continuously adding to. It includes music, plays, poetry, and screenplays. La Divina Caricatura’s proposed screenplay is an adaptation of a musical theater piece that featured Bunraku puppets, musical performances by three bands and live actors. The original theater piece was performed at LaMaMa Theater in December 2013. The work is an exploration of a love relationship between a man, John and his dog Rose. These lovers go through cathartic and transcendental experiences on a Dantesque pilgrimage.
*Followed by a brief discussion with Lee Breuer and Eric Marciano.
