Mary and Victoria: Two Wilson Queens in New York

Tonight, Feb. 27, at NYU’s Skirball Theater, Mary Said What She Said, the stirring monologue, performed by French icon Isabelle Huppert, and produced by the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris and EDM Productions, will make its long-awaited New York debut. Additional performances on Feb. 28, Mar. 1 (2x) and 2. For more information and tickets, please click here.

Another queen from Robert Wilson’s theatrical cosmos, Victoria, will make an appearance at Raisonné (16 Crosby Street), in the shape of a version of the “Queen Victoria Café Chair.” For his 1974 play A Letter for Queen Victoria, ten café chairs were made from industrial materials. Now, Wilson and Raisonné present an exclusive edition of ten Queen Victoria Café Chairs, reimagined in polished brass and plated steel.

And what’s more, this spring, Raisonné will publish the book “Robert Wilson Chairs,” a comprehensive volume featuring all of Wilson’s chair designs, including several works never previously exhibited. The book can be pre-ordered from artbook.
