The Public and the Onassis Foundation USA are partnering to remount MacArthur Genius Grant winner Lee Breuer's landmark “Gospel at Colonus.” Set in the context of a Black Pentecostal service, this production is a retelling of Sophocles’ classic Oedipus at Colonus. The production is free of charge and will run for just six performances at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park from September 4-9. Composer Bob Telson, choir director JD Steele, and Shari Addison, who stars as Ismene, discuss the production and Breuer’s seminal vision.
This segment is guest hosted Jenna Flanagan.
