RUFUS-RETRO-WAINWRIGHT-SPECTIVE: ACT 2 at Bram Goldsmith Theater at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts

**Each evening will feature a different program, all combining to create the full Rufus-Retro-Wainwright-Spective experience. ACT 2: Songs of Love and Desire - When obsessions lose their edge, the true nature of feelings gets revealed. Obsessions are what drives an artist forward, that makes them leave their homes to find new uncharted territory and ultimately new homes. The places they are looking for are the safe places from obsessions, the harbors of love and other fulfilling desires. Wainwright's songs over and over again find these moments of happiness, in his love life, his family life as a father, as a son or as a friend. These are great moments of peace, of being aligned with yourself and your world that he expresses in his unique melodies and lyrics.
