Robert Michael Oliver performing ‘Eureka!’ in “Embodying Poe” at the 2011 Capital Fringe Festival.
We at The Sanctuary’s Performing Knowledge Project are excited. Poe’s Eureka is coming!
- That’s Edgar Allan Poe’s exploration of the universe
- That’s his metaphysical study of the soul
- That’s his search for unity between the poetic and the scientific
- That’s his quest for synthesis between the material and spiritual
To help us in our efforts we have created an Indiegogo Fundraising Campaign. You can join the Indiegogo Campaign for Poe’s Eureka.
Robert Michael Oliver’s one-man show Embodying Poe: poetry-in-performance, which premiered at the 2011 Capital Fringe Festival, concluded with Poe’s mystical excursion into outer space.
After completing the existential film version of his famous poem,The Raven, the creative team of Robert Michael Oliver, Yitna Firdyiwek, Aashish Edakadampil, and Doug Frasier decided it was time to launch a new project, The Raven’s bookend. If Poe’s black bird ends in a haunting madness, his Eureka: a prose poem offers a vision of hope.
Poe’s Eureka presents a greater challenge, however. It imaginative foray into cosmic splendor needs cinematography to match its wonder.
