"Try To Remember" a time when this romantic charmer wasn't enchanting audiences around the world. Since its opening in May 1960 at the Sullivan Street Playhouse in New York, "The Fantasticks" remains the longest-running production of any kind in the history of American theatre and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.

Digital movie, captions, 1h20m Moyra Davey, Notes on Blue, 2015. Color video with sound, 28m About The Blue Description Project (2024) The Blue Description Project (BDP) (2024) is an audio description and captioning project—produced by Crip*—Cripistemology and the Arts in collaboration with Voices in the Gallery— that engages Derek Jarman's Blue (1993) via expanded and critical accessibility. As Jarman wrote in Chroma (1994): “If I have overlooked something you hold precious—write it in the margin.” BDP takes up this invitation by creating a new, experimental iteration of Blue on the 30th anniversary of its release and Jarman’s death. The BDP iteration features creative captions and audio description that have been sourced from numerous contributors. It attempts to convey, express, engage, respond, evoke, articulate, replicate, translate, transmogrify, channel, and transcend what Blue is/was/could be. Audio Description Only version: HERE (PW: 5JGEfbWgFN62GNP) About Notes on Blue (2015) Moyra Davey's new 28-minute video is a lyrical film essay that interweaves various biographies-including those of Derek Jarman, poet Anne Sexton, writer Jorge Luis Borges, and the artist herself-to explore blindness, color, and identity.
