MIRRORS
Hynes who lends himself as a producer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and vocalist who produced the scoring and soundtracks for your favorite films and created songs from your favorite albums. Having Hynes nod his head at Eastman is the wonder bread we all need. A thank you for Julius Eastman's contributions to art, especially black art. The art of the othered. To have a moment like this allows us to see a bright future ahead, glowing like the sun after daylight savings ends.
Devonté Hynes performs pieces by Julius Eastman that have already been performed on the Auditorium stage in the fall of 2021, under the artistic direction of Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc and Jean-Christophe Marti. With this renewed gesture, he amplifies this highlighting of the abundant musical creation of the 1970s in New York. This program that celebrates Eastman— brought about from Hynes because of the new release: Gay Guerilla: L'Histoire de Julius Eastman (Editions 1989, 2022) was the first book dedicated to Eastman that includes his foreword.
Forwarding into the future, prepare yourselves to be amazed on the 29th and 30th of March.
