Night School Public Seminar 7 "Paul Chan: Waiting for Godot in New Orleans"
This event has ended.
At The New Museum of Contemporary Art
Media: Art Talk
November 2007, Paul Chan collaborated with the Classical Theatre of Harlem and Creative Time to stage five free site-specific performances of Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot in two New Orleans neighborhoods that had been destroyed by the flooding caused by the levee breaks during Hurricane Katrina. The performances were part of a larger project, which also included a fund to help local rebuilding and reorganization efforts, plus a series of dinners, lectures, classes, and events that unfolded throughout the city during the fall of 2007. The project was entitled Waiting for Godot in New Orleans: a play in two acts, a project in three parts. Paul will discuss the organizing and aesthetic ideas around the project and show clips from the performance in the Lower Ninth Ward.
