"New Yorkbased theater collective Group Theory probes the psychosonic landscapes of Melville's classic novella
Bartleby, the Scrivener in an intimate chamber ritual that transforms the private act of reading into a communal encounter. A strange literary-theatrical hybrid, this Bartleby is a performed palimpsest of rereadings, a hyper-lucid window onto a famously difficult text in all its haunting ambiguity and violent comedy. Followed by drinks and conversation with invited respondents: In an age of textual overload, can rereading be our gently radical 'I would prefer not to'?" Participants include Paul Chan, Edwin Frank, Lynne Tillman, Abha Dawesar, John Bryant, Vivian Gornick, Alice Boone, Graham Parker, Molly Springfield, McKenzie Wark, and Greg Wayne.
