Milwaukee Opera Theatre presents: Antiology

Music by John Glover, Words by Kelley Rourke

Inspired by the novel Eat the Document by Dana Spiotta

Featuring Andrew Wilkowske and Jack Forbes Wilson

“The point isn’t to win,” according to Nash, a key character in Dana Spiotta’s award-winning Eat the Document . A radical remnant of the 70s who now presides over an anarchist bookstore, Nash draws the disaffected youth of the 1990s into a shifting series of “collectives.” In this musical response to Spiotta’s novel, the team behind “Guns ’N Rosenkavalier” and “Lucy” explores the two eras – their language, technology, music and activism. With special guest Dana Spiotta.

Part book club, part concert, part opera, Antiology is what happens when you ask a talented singer what’s missing from his life, and he answers, “a hootenanny.”
