Antiology

Music by John Glover, Words by Kelley Rourke
Featuring Baritone Andrew Wilkowske
“The point isn’t to win,” according to Nash, a key character in Dana Spiotta’s award-winning Eat the Document. A radical remnant of the 70s who now presides over an anarchist bookstore, Nash draws the disaffected youth of the 1990s into a shifting series of “collectives.”

In this musical response to Spiotta’s novel, the team behind “Guns ‘n Rosenkavalier” and “Lucy” explores the two eras – their language, technology, music and activism.
​With special guest Dana Spiotta.
