Aspects is a new theatre work by Newburyport playwright Joshua Faigen, inspired by Wittgenstein’s idea. The piece consists of six movements made up of music and words. The music is from the canon of Western European and American romanticism, spanning the middle of the nineteenth century to the first decades of the twentieth. The words are the playwright’s own.

Each movement of Aspects is spun from the imagination of a different character. Some of the movements feature stories; others do not. The music dances among the words, and vice versa. They are aspects of the same experience.

Aspects will be performed twice, June 22 and 23, at 8 p.m. in the Oak Hill Cemetery Chapel on Brown Street in Newburyport. The performances include music by Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Beach and Kodaly, and feature six acclaimed local artists: Pamela Battin-Sacks, Kimberly Holliday, Shannon Muhs, Sally Nutt, Josh Paradis and Leslie Pasternack, with audio by Max Faigen.

Performances are June 22 & 23 @ 8 pm, in The Chapel at Oak Hill Cemetery, Brown Street, Newburyport. Attendees may pay what they wish, but registration is required. To register online, go to: https://lemonpunchtheatrelab.com/product/aspects-a-performance/
