Word and Image: Putting Proust’s Pictures in Perspective

Marcel Proust’s A la Recherche du Temps Perdu, one of the most profoundly visual works in Western literature, houses a vast repository of paintings. How does the novelist, in his frequent reference to both famous and obscure works of art, manage to evoke emotion, character, history? How do the verbal and the visual interact and illuminate one another?

Theatre
Dad Rock is a collection of scenes and monologues from both theatrical classics and newer plays you’ve yet to fall in love with, and songs from Broadway musicals and classic rock legends. These scenes, songs, and monologues challenge and explore toxic masculinity and the expectations our society places on male-identifying people that exist at the heart of many of the mental health crises affecting people of all ages, sexualities, and genders, as well as the people closest to them. This project is also Beck Barsanti’s senior work in acting.
