Join Monk Parrots Performance for a remarkable evening celebrating the artistic influence of Robert Wilson and unveiling a new multimedia work, the ATOMIC war: a cloud is best measured when it is up, by Luke Landric.
Robert Wilson, legendary director and visual artist, joins Luke Landric (formerly known as Luke Landric Leonard) on stage for an intimate conversation about Wilson’s impact on experimental performance and the inspiration behind the ATOMIC war. This one-night event promises rare insights, vibrant discussion, and a community gathering of artists and supporters.
the ATOMIC war: a cloud is best measured when it is up is Luke Landric’s new multimedia performance work, inspired by the spirit of Robert Wilson’s early monumental work, the CIVIL warS: a tree is best measured when it is down. The piece weaves together non-linear dramaturgy, experimental text, internet iconography, and innovative uses of Korean performance traditions such as pansori and haegeum, to examine global spectacle, cultural myths, and the specter of societal collapse through an avant-garde lens. The project is currently in development for a winter 2027 premiere.
