“I am curious and breathless at the prospect of being this venerable, essential festival’s Associate Artist for 2020: curious to encounter the audiences for my own work in a European context and breathless at the prospect of representing “the Artist” in this fractious, confusing time in which liberal values and social stability in the USA and in many places around the world are endangered at every turn while a lust for individuality and self-determination drives discourse.”
