Eric worked as an intern for Richard Foremen's Ontological Hysteric Theatre company for the past two seasons. He made his acting debut with the company this past spring in Astronome, a collaboration by two of the premiere avant garde artists in this country. Richard Foreman and composer John Zorn. You can read a review of that production in the NYT here. You can see a pictue of Eric here. He is second from the right, wearing a black fez and veil.
This fall, he will appear in a play written by Richard Foreman and starring Willem Dafoe at the Public Theatre. Details were announced today:
IDIOT SAVANT
Written and Directed by Richard Foreman
October 27 - December 13
Marie asks the Idiot Savant, "But what makes certain words - magic?" What follows is a wild theatrical odyssey that could only have sprung from the fantastical mind of Richard Foreman. This new work is a philosophical comedy, in the great tradition of Ionesco and Preston Sturges. From precise existential and metaphysical acrobatics, to a ridiculous game of inter-species golf with a Giant Duck, IDIOT SAVANT is a fresh, bracing and hilarious exploration of the boundaries of the legitimate. Presented at and in association with The Public Theater.
