Originally created by Nesbitt to demonstrate “the media bombardment surrounding ‘everyman’ today,” it is whirlwind collage of documentary footage, print media clippings, and hand-written text with a multilayered soundtrack combined to create living audio-visual poem, which is different every time it is performed. Digital interpretation commissioned by the Smithsonian’s Archives of American art in 2015, this is a rare performance of a one of the greats in American avant-garde cinema. C. Tara and David Gladden present a site-specific performance, Forgotten and Now the Coming Thing, based on the work of Esta NesbittA site-specific, dreamscape opera that takes its name from recurring phrases in Esta Nesbitt’s fashion illustrations.
