Second Course: Winter Mixed Repertory

For Dominic Walsh, two is often better than one. “When you find like-minded people working together, what you can create is more interesting than what you can do alone,” he says. That’s evident in Second Course: Winter Mixed Repertory, which includes Walsh’s Victor Frankenstein, a piece he created in collaboration with poet Addie Tsai. The work is a one-act psychological narrative incorporating text projected onscreen that highlights the events leading up to Mary Shelley’s writing of Frankenstein.
