Dramatic & Musical event June 8: "Shakespeare, Mozart, & the Victory You Want Most!

What do Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Mozart’s Flute Concerto in G have to do with one of the biggest questions in every person’s life, and a huge question for nations? Come hear and see, as the Aesthetic Realism Theatre Company presents “Shakespeare, Mozart, &—The Victory You Want Most!” This moving cultural and entertainment event includes a dramatic presentation of “Shakespeare’s The Tempest—or, Darkness I Love You,” Eli Siegel's lecture, with scenes—magnificently acted—from the play.

I have seen this lecture enacted by the Theatre Company and it is moving, surprising, educating.


And Part 2 is "Mozart’s Flute Concerto in G Shows the Victory of Self-Questioning! with performance and commentary by Barbara Allen on flute and Edward Green on piano. The actors and musicians say:

"Hear how Shakespeare and Mozart powerfully and delightfully show: our greatest victory is not in domination, acquisition, running other people’s lives. It is to see the world and ourselves truly, with courage!"
