Fragments of the Star-Spangled Banner
The Station Hill Intermedia Lab presents poet Michael Ruby enchanting poems and fragments from The Star-Spangled Banner in this operatic exploration spanning the fifteen years from 9/11 to Trump’s election on 11/9. Legendary rock bassist Abby Travis improvises to the poems and the shape of the time period itself. A video collage by Sam Truitt backdrops what Francis Scott Key promises will be an intense intermedia collision with one of America’s leading national symbols.
