Summary
  • A collaboration between Robert Wilson and Lou Reed, Time rocker completes the fantastical triptych begun with The black rider and Alice. Taking its inspiration from H.G. Wells' The time machine, "Time rocker begins with the disappearance of a Dr. Procopius from 19th century London. Nick and Priscilla, domestics falsely accused of their master's murder, escape into time on a giant fish, setting into motion a remarkable adventure that takes them from ancient Egypt to a 17th century opium den to modern-day Kansas and beyond" -- loureed.org.
  • Stage A workshop run-through of Time rocker. Models for sets shown during opening credits. Run-through, introduced by Robert Wilson, then follows. End credits shown over [Robert Wilson's?] sketched designs for the production.
