Murmurs and Incantations tells the story of Ben Levitts, a one-time impassioned activist and rising art star in 1980s New York, now a creatively blocked, middle-aged art professor. We meet Ben when, much to his surprise, he has been invited to show at a contemporary art center in Poland. While reticent to visit his ancestral homeland, Ben accepts what could be the last big opportunity of his career.
Despite his best efforts, Ben is distracted by history. A series of visions and ghostly visitations stir up a painful past. Things are further complicated by the prospects of romance. Still, the journey fuels in Ben a last-ditch effort to test his creative powers, and to find an ancestral and a personal voice.
Harrowing, poignant and irreverently funny, Murmurs and Incantations explores the inspiration, the anguish and the responsibility of being an artist. It sharply examines the ways in which identity, cultural history and personal baggage affect, impede and shape the creative process. Theatrically, Murmurs and Incantations is groundbreaking in its meaningful incorporation of performance art into both the form and content of the play.
