Guycassiers_large

Although hardly a household name (unless you happen to live in an experimental theater), Dutch/Belgian artist Guy Cassiers is quietly becoming one of the world's most forward-thinking directors. His productions break ground at the intersection of performance and technology, while frequently drawing inspiration from literary texts. One such work is his adaptation of Sunken Red — Jeroen Brouwers' chronicle of his family's internment during World War II — which BAM is currently presenting as part of its Next Wave festival. Tonight, Cassiers sheds some light on the production and his creative process, in conversation with CUNY's Frank Hentschker.
