ZWISCHEN LEBEN UND TOD | MICHAEL HERSCH
The most recent in a series of several program-length works Michael Hersch has written over the past decade, Zwischen Leben und Tod is one of only three Hersch works to co-exist and engage exclusively with visual art. Arranged in twenty-two sections, each part pairs with a painting or drawing by Peter Weiss (1916-1982). Better known as playwright and novelist, Weiss was also a remarkable visual artist and filmmaker. National Sawdust presents the New York Premiere, and only the second performance anywhere, of Hersch’s 80-minute work in a full multi-media presentation.
