Wall to Wall Gertrude’s Paris – Symphony Space – May 5, 2012

This year’s Wall-to-Wall celebrated the 1920’s Paris of Gertrude Stein. Performances began even before we got into the theatre, with Marni Rice leading her band, Chanson Chamber Salon, on the street as we waited in line. Some of the readings and discussions opened my mind a bit to Stein’s actual artistic output, likening it to the cubist vision of describing an object from all angles simultaneously.
