Overture for KA MOUNTAIN AND GUARDenia TERRACE was performed live by Robert Wilson and the Byrd Hoffman School of Byrds at 147 Spring Street, NYC, for six hours each day, from 6-9AM and 6-9PM, between April 24-30, 1972. The sizeable cast featured such downtown luminaries as dance critic and poet Edwin Denby, dancer Andy De Groat, theater critic Stefan Brecht, and Wilson’s grandmother, Alma Hamilton. This preservation print was made directly from the 16mm camera original which was discovered in Anthology’s basement along with a group of empty film cans. Archivists at Anthology and the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts (the repository of the Robert Wilson Audio/Visual Collection) were able to salvage the film and identified it as the most extensive extant documentation of OVERTURE. No soundtrack has surfaced for this film, but its majestic images and wild inventiveness are like a music all their own.

As part of that series, the following original works for the screen by Robert Wilson will be shown:

STATIONS (1982, 56 min, video)

“STATIONS is an enigmatic, hauntingly vivid work, in which Wilson envisions the daydreams and fantasies of an eleven-year-old boy as a universe both magical and sinister. Resonating with Wilson’s precise visual stylization, the tape’s pivotal image is a young boy looking through a large window in the kitchen of his home, which becomes the portal for his dramatic, often startling inner fantasies. Fire, metal, wind, glass and water, among other elements, serve as points of departure for a series of elegant pictorial compositions and evocative metaphors. Unfolding without dialogue or spoken language, Wilson’s indelible visions articulate the fear and mystery of the internal life of a child, and his relation to the outside world.” –ELECTRONIC ARTS INTERMIX

LA FEMME À LA CAFETIÈRE (1989, 7 min, video)

Robert Wilson and the dancer Suzushi Hanayagi bring to life Paul Cezanne’s painting, “La Femme à la Cafetière”.

LA MORT DE MOLIÈRE (1995, 24 min, video)

A collaboration in which Robert Wilson and Heiner Müller let Molière die, imagining his death in tableaux with text passages recited by Müller himself. “Cinema watches Death at work.” Wilson’s actors watch Molière die: their vigil is hard work. Müller’s comment: “The poem watches a dying man at work, his name is Molière. The poem is not a film. The film watches an actor playing a dying man called Molière.”

This film – edited from live recordings of performances in both Warsaw and Tokyo – documents Robert Wilson’s production of Hamlet: A Monologue. Adapted from Shakespeare by Wilson and Wolfgang Wiens, Hamlet: A Monologue was performed by Wilson himself, who variously embodied each of the play’s characters. In his own words, “Initially, I had thought to do it with a group of actors but eventually I decided I would do it myself, as a challenge: first, because it is a classical text, and then because it’s a work where the concentration is primarily on the text, in addition to the images. I did it as a monologue, a kind of dream memory of the entire play. I restructured the text, beginning seconds before Hamlet dies. So the work is seen as a flashback, with Hamlet speaking the text of Ophelia, Gertrude and all the other characters. The play really takes place in Hamlet’s mind. It begins with his last speech and ends with his last speech.”

Robert Wilson passed away on July 31, 2025. Just one month earlier, he had completed the development of Seven Solitudes, a new work based on the writings of Oskar Miłosz, created with Charles Chemin and the other collaborators. Aware that he would not live to see the production’s opening, Wilson finished directing and designing the piece, and entrusted his collaborators with bringing it to the stage. Seven Solitudes is therefore one of two “legacy productions” that premièred after his passing.

Robert Wilson wished to dedicate this production to Audrey Butvay Gruss, whose passion for the Arts inspires us all.

Performed in Polish (with English surtitles during the Kontakt Festival).
