BLURB

Please join us at 27 rue de Fleurus for a salon of hermetic curiosities. Come enjoy our collection of fine art, and partake in the conversation on plays. White wines will be served, but not turkey and bones. Wear your finest, tiniest hat, and steel yourself for slumber-party-style punch-drunk giggle-fits. You’re welcome. We thank you.

SYNOPSIS

With text from Stein’s play White Wines, her lectures, and her novels, movement based on her lecture, Plays, and scenery inspired by The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, the show was a love-letter to Cubism, salons, and the Lost Generation.
