The Lucullan Reading Circle: A Performance Based on Bertolt Brecht’s Trial of Lucullus

The Lucullan Reading Circle

A performance by Per-Oskar Leu based on Bertolt Brecht’s The Trial of Lucullus

Goethe-Institut New York, 30 Irving Place (near Union Square)
The event is free and open to the public, and will be followed by a reception.

Written as a radio play by the poet and dramatist Bertolt Brecht, The Trial of Lucullus features the Roman general Lucullus facing judgment by a People’s Court in the underworld. Norwegian artist Per-Oskar Leu revisits this lesser-known Brecht work through a participatory performance, offering a contemporary reflection on the artist’s relationship to legal institutions, politics, and ideology.

The performance is presented in conjunction with the Due Process exhibition, which features artistic engagements with criminal justice. The exhibition is on view at the Ludlow 38 gallery from August 30, 2018-September 9, 2018. More information at http://ludlow38.org/exhibitions/due-process/
With the kind support of the Office for Contemporary Art Norway and the Norwegian Consulate General.
