Description

"Loving Repeating brings Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas to the stage in song through a series of adept vignettes that encapsulate the joy and passion of Stein's life and work and the tenderness of a lesbian romance. The chamber musical directed by Frank Galati, with music by Stephen Flaherty, premiered in Chicago in 2005 as a collaboration between About Face Theatre and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Galati uses Stein's own words to illustrate her ideas about language and human nature, beginning with her reflections on how her art evolved from a youthful fascination with the repetition of human behavior - as Stein sings to the audience, "Loving repeating is one way of being.""--Jacket.
