Archives Onstage: María Irene Fornés: “The Rest I Make Up” Screening
When: Friday, Oct 23 @ 7PM
Where: Goldberg Theater, 721 Broadway, 7th Floor

Join us for a screening and discussion of Michelle Memran’s 2018 documentary. 

In The Rest I Make Up the camera becomes a catalyst for collaboration, capturing Irene’s ability to teach, to inspire, and to turn the scraps of everyday life into moments worthy of wonder and delight. The feature-length documentary follows Irene’s memories, weaving together footage of the present with archival from the past, all the while moving mentor and student towards an ever-deepening connection in the face of forgetting. In doing so, The Rest I Make Up celebrates the fierce and unquenchable spontaneity that is Maria Irene Fornes — a virtuosic theater artist and educator whose plays and writing workshops helped shape American theater. www.therestimakeup.com
