The Jerome L. Greene Performance Space Presents
A New Theater of Sound
The Invisible Man (WNYC)
Live Audio Performance: Listen Above
In a collaboration between The Greene Space and the Yorinks Theater Group, Arthur Yorinks, writer and director, has extracted the title character from The Invisible Man, the novella by H.G. Wells, and has written a searing hybrid of naturalistic drama and stark surrealism.
A collage of sound, live voices and sound effects was joined by a never-before-heard original piano score composed and improvised by Michael Riesman, director of the Philip Glass Ensemble, in a rare live musical performance. Lighting, video and conceptual design were by Mark Stanley, resident lighting designer for The New York City Ballet.
The Invisible Man is played by Rocco Sisto and the cast includes: Teagle F. Bougere, Arthur French, Dion Graham, Nikki Hislop, Karen Kandel, Steven Rattazzi
With special cameo appearance by Terrance McKnight
Original music composed and performed by Michael Riesman
Conceptual design, lighting, and projections by Mark Stanley
Written and directed by Arthur Yorinks
Commissioned by WNYC
The Invisible Man Commission was made possible through the generous support of the Sidney E. Frank Foundation

" a box man "
Sleeping on a sidewalk step -_
the north side of Prince Street,
enclosed in cardboard, wrapped, & away from

There, & then ~ gone
I never met him, nor knew his name, but
I believe he was your, "Invisible Man"
