Wu Tsai Theater, David Geffen Hall, New York, NY

Set 1
Debussy Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune
Shaw Microfictions, Vol. 3 - Part I. A filament of rust threaded through the pixelated chord structure of an old-growth forest.
Shaw Microfictions, Vol. 3 - Part II. Anton Webern steered his blue pickup into a field where grasses grew ten stories tall and the wind carried the weight of suggestion.
Shaw Microfictions, Vol. 3 - Part III. The ground beneath chattered relentlessly, its hard edge tempered only by elastic intonation and parenthetical umami.
Shaw Microfictions, Vol. 3 - Part IV. Suspended in iridescent fog, the chimes congealed to form a hyaline tsunami.
Shaw Microfictions, Vol. 3 - Part V. Clocks glided by each other through the diaphanous din of last year's song of the summer. Time divided work and rest.
