A searching inquiry into the personal meaning—and the mythological, historical, artistic, and social significance—of the loss of vision, Eye Piece is an alchemical, illuminating theatrical work by Pulitzer Prize nominated and Obie-Award award winning writer, composer, director, and performer Rinde Eckert. His music/theatre works have been produced by the Foundry Theater, American Repertory Theatre, New York Theatre Workshop, Berkeley Rep, and many other stages around the world. Recently named a Doris Duke Artist by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Eckert will direct Eye Piece in the Barnard theatre department’s spring 2013 season.
