The Man Ray Project: Caesar & The Mannequin

Atlas Performing Arts Center
1333 H Street NE Washington

Inspired by the Man Ray painting "Shakespearean Equation: Julius Caesar," in the Phillips collection, Composer Andrew E. Simpson and Librettist Susan Galbraith have concocted a Dadaist fantastical story of a 'Caesar,' a character who is determined to cling to power at whatever cost and sings, "You can't stick me in a closet; I will not stay there."
