A Few Images on Hydrogen Jukebox







Here are three photos from Hydrogen Jukebox. I hope some of you got to see the performances (all shows were completely sold out and received standing ovations!). The experience was capped off by not being able to get a train from Baltimore to Washington for Sunday's performance. I had to find a way to the College Park Metro station and then walk from the Rosslyn stop across the Key Bridge into Georgetown. The energy in that city was palpable, and as I crossed the Potomac with the Kennedy Center and the Washington Monument in the distance I was struck by how special it was to be doing this piece at this time in this place. It is a moment that all of us will remember forever, and to have transformed HJ into a work the celebrates the American spirit was a tremendously exciting way to be a part of the inauguration experience. The cast worked terrifically hard, and I am honored and awed to have worked with them. It is a great piece that I hope we can do again in the future!

I for one hope you can do HJ again in the future. These photos make me regret even more not being able to get to Georgetown myself. Thanks for posting them!

Hey Tim,

Great pics. Sorry I couldn't get there to see it in person. Who did the back projections? Stunning!

Thanks Clayton and John. It is a piece that really grew on me and I would like to do it again, much more sensitive text setting than usual.

The Gonda has these fancy projectors that I don't really understand, but they can revolve and change the images or overlap them. The designer Hannah Crowell and I used found images, and then folks from the theater programmed the projector that then runs off the light board. The original plan was to have projections on the floor of the stage as well, but it would have taken four projectors and they only have two. Ah well...
