Four Quartets, T. S. Eliot's mysterious and beautiful masterpiece, is a rumination on time and timelessness and is now prized as one of the 20th century's most stunning literary achievements. Seventy-five years after its publication, Eliot's poetry cycle has inspired three astonishing contemporary artists to join forces in a ravishing union of dance, music, painting, and poetry. American choreographer Pam Tanowitz, legendary Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, and American modernist painter Brice Marden have created a vast and thrilling performance from Eliot's meditations on past and present, time and space, movement, and stillness. Joining them is Tony Award-nominated actress Kathleen Chalfant (Angels in America, Wit performing Eliot's text live. This unprecedented collaboration, the first authorized performance based on Four Quartets, promises to be one of the must-see events of the season.
