Films by One Little Goat Theatre, songs by John Cage
An evening featuring film excerpts of One Little Goat Theatre’s Finnegans Wake project, plus a performance of Joyce songs by John Cage.
Since 2023, One Little Goat Theatre Company has been filming all 17 chapters (30 hours) of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake before live audiences, marking the first “audio-video book” of the novel, completing by May 4, 2029. John Cage created multiple works engaging with Finnegans Wake, including Roaratorio and various performance texts.
The evening features excerpts from the first five filmed chapters presented by Director Adam Seelig with virtuosic performances by Richard Harte, plus John Cage songs performed by soprano Jaclyn Hopping with Jeffrey Lependorf.
