Robert Wilson, the leading American avant-garde theatre director,
revolutionised the stage by making visual communication more
important than words. His productions cut across the boundaries
that traditionally have defined theatre, dance, opera and the
visual arts to create a total work of art. This book, the first
comprehensive study of Wilson, traces the evolution of the
director's astonishing career as well as his complex relationship
to language and his visual rhetoric. It explains how he renovated
the stage and describes in detail major productions such as:
Deafman Glance, Einstein on the Beach, and the Civil Wars. Arthur
Holmberg's numerous personal interviews and first-hand observations
of Wilson's creative process, provide an intimate,
behind-the-scenes view of one of our most original directors.
Photographs and sketches from Wilson's private collection are
included, along with a chronology of his work.
