“Seeing Double” will explore how we see by pairing characteristics such as composition, media, design, subject matter, historical context and premise. By simultaneously looking at the pieced ceramic shards of South Korean artist Yeesookyung’s “Translated Vase” with Sandra Osip’s “Abandoned,” we notice similarities of structure and content. Overshadowed figures, such as Roger Bruhn’s New York City pedestrian passing a gigantic fashion image and Duvier Del Dago’s tiny image of Fidel Castro in a work titled “Teoria y Practica,” take on greater significance as we ponder them. Nebraska artist Merrill Peterson’s “Portrait of a Chair and House” considers the juncture between cognition and reality.

David Drake’s unforgettable chronicle of self- discovery takes us with him as he awakens to gay pride and answers the call to action. We travel with him through the height of the AIDS crisis and into a dream of the future where anyone can walk anywhere, hand-in- hand, without condemnation or fear. We will never stop fighting for the freedom to love. We will never forget those we have lost. Join the production team for a pre-show talk and backstage tour.

Register for the performance in the company of fellow OLLI members in a reserved section of the theatre or attend the production at a different time that works with your schedule by purchasing a ticket on your own. The same OLLI discount on ticket prices applies either way you attend.
