White Noise 2019 - Articles Page 15

Direct from his Tony award-winning revival of Oklahoma! on Broadway, director Daniel Fish brings a new production inspired by Don DeLillo's White Noise to NYU Skirball.



Originally produced by Germany’s Theater Freiburg and Ruhrfestspiele Recklingshausen in 2018, White Noise is performed by Bruce Mackenzie along with composer/drummer Bobby Previte. The work is a 70-minute meditation on the prescient themes of the 1985 National Book Award-winning novel: rampant consumerism, guns, media saturation, fear of dying, underground conspiracies, the disintegration and reintegration of the family, and environmental disaster. This US premiere is a collaboration between Fish, Mackenzie, Previte, Jim Findlay (video), Andrew Lieberman (set), and Doey Lüthi (costume).
