The debut live performance of Pierre Huyghe's puppet opera was last week at Harvard's Carpenter Center, Le Corbusier's only building in the US.
While it's not quite a review, Ann Wilson Lloyd's report in the Times gives more details of the production/exhibition, which runs through April 2005.
The synopsis: it's Team America: World Police meets Adaptation meets My Architect.
Says Huyghe,
"I found myself in the same position as Le Corbusier," he said recently, "of someone invited to do a project and formalize it in a specific context. I felt overwhelmed by the conditions of this predefined context. Then I found this book by Sekler and Curtis, and I realized it was a parallel situation. The difficulty in coming up with an idea became the idea."A Puppet Opera at Harvard Channels Le Corbusier [NYT]
