MY LITTLE ENLIGHTENMENT: A Lecture Performance
MY LITTLE ENLIGHTENMENT is a lecture performance on 18th-century philosophers in dressing gowns, female salonnieres, paper utopias, obscurity, the chromatic buzz of what’s knowable, Jean Cocteau’s theatre-poetry, Gertrude Stein’s giddiness, star-gazing, poetry and bugs under the microscope, alternative encyclopaedias, ornament, cartouches and other fricative frames.
First presented inside an absurd salon full of paper lampshades, coloured lightbulbs, projections, and miniature theatre sets (designed Yates Norton), this book is both a document and score, but also a poetic and visual text that works on and with the page.
