Allen Ginsberg’s poem springs to life in this multi-media memory play.  A son mourns the death of his mother.  He wrestles with painful memories of her battles with mental illness and the guilt of signing for her lobotomy.  Ginsberg’s stream-of-conscious narrative is a moving story of loss, family, and the grace that comes from confronting one’s own mortality and place in the universe.  

 

This premiere marks the 50th Anniversaryof the poem’s publication

and the Inaugural Production of

The Adaptations Project
