Class Description
We're partnering with our friends at ArtsEmerson to bring GrubStreet members 20 free tickets to the opening night of Sontag: Reborn on Wednesday, May 7th at 7pm. You won't want to miss it! The deadline to reserve your ticket is Monday, May 5th at 12pm.
Iconic intellectual Susan Sontag is brought vividly to life in Sontag: Reborn, adapted from her early journals by performer Moe Angelos. Directed by Marianne Weems, this intimate and startling portrait traces Sontag's private life from the age of 14 to her emergence as a world-renowned author and activist. The young Sontag wrestles with her emerging sexuality and precocious intelligence, fraught with doubt and insecurity yet driven by her willfulness, ambition and voracious curiosity. The refuge of her diary became integral to her development as a writer. Sontag says herself, "In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could in person. I create myself." The Builders Association brings its signature synthesis of video and sound back to the ArtsEmerson stage to poetically tell the personal story of one of America’s most controversial and memorable cultural critics.
This event is taking place at Emerson/Paramount Center Mainstage located at 559 Washington St., Boston, MA 02111.
