About the Artist | Theodor Seuss Geisel  (American, 1904-1991)   Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, began his career as a little known editorial cartoonist in the 1920's. His intriguing perspective and fresh concepts ignited his career, and his work evolved quickly to deft illustrations, modeled sculpture and sophisticated oil paintings of elaborate imagination. Dr. Seuss is currently best known as one of the most beloved and bestselling children's authors of all time, having written and illustrated classics such as Green Eggs & Ham and How The Grinch Stole Christmas! Today his "Secret Art" Collection hangs in fine art galleries around the world. About Animazing Gallery | A landmark gallery in SoHo since 1984, AFA (formerly Animazing) began as an exhibition space specializing in conceptual animation art. Over time, we broadened that scope to include works by renowned Illustrators and pop culture commercial artists as well as fine artists. In 2012, in keeping with the momentum of our natural development and growth, we revamped the gallery's program with new artists, exhibitions and endeavors and renamed it AFA (Animazing Fine Art).    ™ and © 1958 Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P.

Teatr ZAR - The Gospels of Childhood Triptych

Teatr ZAR The Gospels of Childhood Triptych March 29 - April 1, 2012

Poland's Teatr ZAR uses song, chanting, physical theater, and rich sets to examine birth, death, pleasure, and pain. The Gospels of Childhood Triptych is staged in three acts during a single evening, with the audience and actors inhabiting a different set for each act: the first and third take place in the MCA Theater with the audience on stage; and the second is in the MCA's 2nd-floor atrium. The performances take place at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Chicago, March 29 - April 1, 2012, and are presented by MCA Stage in association with Goodman Theatre. Inspired by Eastern Orthodox ancient sacred music, The Gospels draws on texts from the apocryphal gospels and the 19th century Polish romantic poet Juliusz Slowacki. The work is the culmination of a decade of research by artistic director, Jaroslaw Fret, and the company. The Gospels exemplifies a trend in contemporary Polish theatre, described as "theatre out of the spirit of music."  VIDEO Part 1: Gospels of Childhood / The Overture (Theater): Based on texts from the apocryphal gospels, the overture to the triptych tells the story of resurrection. Its musical structure is based on the chant singing tradition of Georgia, Bulgaria, and Greece and reveals the story of Lazarus, his sisters, and Mary Magdalene, who in the Gnostic tradition is considered one of the disciples. Part 2: Caesarean Section / Essays on Suicide (2nd floor atrium): Explores the question of freedom and its limitations that draws on the music of Corsica, intertwining Bulgarian, Romanian, Icelandic, and Chechen songs, combined with the more modern music of Erik Satie and Ástor Piazzolla. Part 3: Anhelli / The Calling (Theater): The poem "Anhelli," by Slowacki, follows a tragic journey of a young man through Siberia and portrays the struggles for independence and a missed calling due to human weakness. Teatr ZAR created a musical score for Anhelli based on Byzantine and Sardinian Paschal hymns.
