New York Live Arts Presents Alexandra Chasin & Zishan Ugurlu's "Fragments, Lists & Lacunae"

Fragments, Lists & Lacunae focuses on three students taking a college course about gaps, holes, white space, and blanks—course content ranges from Mad Libs to the 18-minute gap in Nixon’s White House tapes, from Sappho's poetry to contemporary politics of "disappearance," from Genesis to extinction. In a series of nine lectures, their professor, played by Judith Butler, offers multimedia provocations on absence, silence, negation and nothingness, while the students' class notes and personal notes to each other, dramatize the lived meanings of the course’s concepts.
