ABSOLUTE WILSON
In advance of the upcoming exhibit VOOM PORTRAITS Robert Wilson, CSPS hosts two free screenings of this 2006 documentary.
Absolute Wilson chronicles the epic life, times and creative genius of acclaimed creator and director Robert Wilson, intimately revealing for the first time one of the most controversial, rule-breaking and downright mysterious artists of our era. More than a biography, the film becomes an exhilarating exploration of the transformative power of creativity itself — and the inspirational tale of a boy who grew up as a troubled and learning-disabled outsider in the American South only to become a fearless artist with a profoundly original perspective to share with the world.
Along the way, the film introduces an array of admirers, friends, collaborators and critics, ranging from musician David Byrne to the late writer Susan Sontag, from composer Phillip Glass to singer Jessye Norman. (Written and directed by Katharina Otto-Bernstein, documentary, 105 min.)
