Individuality–False & True

People will want, very much, to be at this event, with its passion and clarity about the ethics that America and the world need now.

In Part I, performers with the Aesthetic Realism Theatre Company will present “When Does Evil Begin?”–a dramatic production of Eli Siegel’s magnificent, profound, and funny 1953 lecture.  It has deep and vivid passages from Dickens’ Nicholas Nickleby, Fielding’s Tom Jones, and more, all in relation to Henry James’s great novella The Turn of the Screw.  Mr. Siegel–poet, critic, and founder of Aesthetic Realism–said:

“The notion of evil that Aesthetic Realism has is the notion of evil Henry James somewhat had: it is the notion of people, in the process of being themselves, being unjust to what is not themselves.  If you affirm, maintain, please yourself by being unjust in any form whatsoever to what is not yourself, evil is in operation.”

Part II will be “Mozart, Individuality, & You!”–Mozart’s Flute Concerto in D, performed and commented on by Barbara Allen (flute) and Edward Green (piano).

An event of drama, literature, and music that will be thrilling!
