Dark Energy: An Aesthetic of Irrelevance
As the first of three major Samuel Beckett events, Herbert Blau, one of the leading theater and performance theorists of our time, is the Byron W. and Alice L. Lockwood Professor of Humanities at the University of Washington.  In addition to Blau’s theoretical and scholarly work on theater, he is a renowned director of trail-blazing avant-garde theater productions in the United States. He will present excerpts from an autobiography-in-progress, recalling what it was like to think about and to stage Beckett’s Waiting for Godot in the late 1950s – the Eisenhower years, the immediate aftermath of the McCarthy era-when Becket and his radically new approach to theater were still hardly known in this country.  Blau’s talk, free and open to the public, will be in the Recital Hall of UNF’s Fine Arts Center.

UNF Fine Arts Center Recital Hall, 7 pm.
