The Royal Danish Ballet, the director Robert Lepage and an expert on the neuroscience of taste will be featured in the fall season of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum's Works & Process series, which begins Sept. 9. The performances, aimed at giving audiences insight into the creative process, will take place in the museum's Peter B. Lewis Theater. Most events will also be livestreamed.
In addition to appearances by the New York City Ballet (with music by Sufjan Stevens) and a performance of excerpts from Mr. Lepage's production of Thomas Adès's modern opera “The Tempest†for the Metropolitan Opera, there will be several events spinning off the visual arts. The choreographer Russell Maliphant's “Rodin Project†will be staged Dec. 3, and there will also be performances of “Desire Caught by the Tail,†a surrealist play about the hardships of World War II written by Picasso over four days in 1941, to be presented in conjunction with the museum's “Picasso Black and White†exhibit.
The olafactory senses will also get some attention. On Oct. 20 the Columbia neurobiologist Charles Zuker will deliver a lecture called “Food, Taste and the Brain.†But it was not immediately clear whether audience members will be allowed to eat the gingerbread chalet designed by the artist Will Cotton for five holiday performances of “Prokoviev's “Peter and the Wolf,†narrated by the designer Isaac Mizrahi.
