Twelve Installations by Gray Horan

Streaming live on The Wilbury Theatre Group.
Discover La Parisienne. Not only is she a work of art, she’s a real piece of work! Originally scheduled as part of a micro-performance for the Grand Gallery at the RISD Museum, this virtual debut is an excerpt from the play (Installation #9) and part of The Wilbury Theatre Group’s streaming program. Twelve Installations takes audiences on the fantastical and comical journey of an acclaimed painting, La Parisienne by Robert Delaunay. She’s a creative triumph, a provocative beauty and a cunning survivor. The play follows her from Paris to Berlin to Texas and beyond.
Featuring performances by Tanya Anderson and Rae Mancini, and directed by Milly Massey, audiences are invited to take a peek at what happens when art comes to life in this innovative new play by Rhode Island playwright Gray Horan.
Free.
