Lakes & Legends presents Leaves of Grass – Uncut, a solo performance by Patrick Scully, summoning the spirit of the 19th-century poet, Walt Whitman.
The $10 ticket price includes a glass of "Leaves of Grass, saison" - A Lakes & Legends specialty beer inspired by Walt Whitman, and brewed exclusivly for the Pride Beer Dabbler event on Friday, June 24th in Loring Park.
Leaves of Grass – Uncut shows us many sides of Whitman: from the furtive—changing genders to “straighten things up”, to the fierce—defying the censors and getting banned in Boston.
Leaves of Grass – Uncut reflects Whitman’s utopian dreams, and his 19th century tribulations.
The show opened in Minneapolis to critical acclaim in 2014 at Illusion Theater with 2 actors and 17 dancers. The Lakes & Legends presentation marks the debut of the “Backyard Tour” of the solo version of this show. Leaves of Grass – Uncut pulls from history, art, literature, even opera and presents aspects of Walt Whitman’s life and work that are fascinating for our time, in which discussions of male/male relations have finally moved out of the shadows into the light of day.
