Description
Richard Foreman keeps returning to the same devices—string and letters, bright light, ominous voiceovers, sound loops—yet each show is a burst of rediscovery, as you enter the singularly alert yet trancelike state that his reverberation machines inspire. Idiot Savant is vintage Foreman: ravishing, perplexing, scary, a sensual and intellectual massage for those weary of causality and psychology. Willem Dafoe takes center stage in the title role, endowing his cryptic pronouncements and slapstick with pathos and visceral intensity.—DCWhen
Tonight–Fri 8pm , Sat 2pm, 8pm , Sun 2pm, 7pm , Tue 7pm Ongoing through Dec 20.
