Simon Starling: At Twilight - Audio Tour - Stop 1 by Japan Society published on 2016-11-02T18:58:52Z This is the audio tour for Japan Society's fall exhibition, Simon Starling: At Twilight (After W.B. Yeats' Noh Reincarnation) on view through January 15, 2017 at Japan Society gallery in New York. Narration by Michael Chagnon, Curator of Exhibition Interpretation at Japan Society. At the height of WWI, poet W. B . Yeats collaborated with members of the avant garde to stage his Japanese noh inspired dance play At the Hawk's Well (1916). To mark its centennial, Turner Prize winner Simon Starling reinterprets this production in an exhibition that illustrates the impact of noh on Western Modernism. Newly created masks, costumes, and a dance on video are paired with works by the 20th-century masters connected to Yeats' play, bringing to life Starling's irrepressible inventiveness. Genre Learning
