Summary
Bone Songs is a meditation on the journey of marriage and the meaning of one's long life, by acclaimed avant-garde theatre director Andre Gregory. Loosely based on Solomon's "Song of Songs," it takes the shape of a passionate conversation with the artist's late wife. Gregory performs "Bone Songs" as a kind of "After Dinner with Andre," weaving together his own personal anecdotes with the journey of five characters on a cruise to Antarctica: a young couple honeymooning, a middle-aged couple dealing with illness and an old man returning after the death of his wife. The signature performances sold out in Los Angeles and will debut this season in New York.
