We have a winner for #1 Funny splash from the A.R.T. Bucky: ”…a swirl of magisterially offbeat projections by video designer Jim Findlay.” - Carolyn Clay, Boston Phoenix
Boston Herald It was the world according to Bucky at the American Repertory Theatre’s Loeb Drama Center Wednesday. Fear not, Bostonians, it had nothing to do with Bucky [Bleeping] Dent
Arts Fuse D.W. Jacobs’s presentation of the life and ideas of American visionary R. Buckminster Fuller invites you to make your own intellectual structure out of what you have seen—connect Fuller’s dots and you have an image that expands your mental horizons or at the very least ups your powers of analysis and recall.
Dig Boston I love a good lecture. I’m a sucker for exhaustive argumentation. I love visual aids and props. But, most importantly, I love it when someone can elucidate a complex topic, making it not only accessible but emotionally resonant. A good lecturer can make you understand, but, more, they can make you care.
Wicked Local The American Repertory Theater’s new show, “R. Buckminster Fuller: The History (and Mystery) of the Universe” may be devoted to the wit and wisdom of the multi-talented local legend who got kicked out of Harvard (twice), before going on to change our view of the world. But the one-man show is actually a lovely tribute to two men: “Bucky” (as he was called) and Thomas Derrah.
Bucky got kicked out of Harvard as a student twice. He’s buried down the street at Mt. Auburn cemetary. And the street directly behind the theater is named after his great grandparents. And now his ghost is onstage at ART in the corporeal body of Tommy Derrah. Here’s some nice shots of the show by photographer Marcus Stern.
And a nice review from the Boston Globe.
