Yeah Boom! A Christopher Knowles Reader

A genuinely unique poet and visual artist, Christopher Knowles is best known as the autistic teenager who, throughout the 1970s and beyond, unexpectedly found himself collaborating with theatre auteur Robert Wilson on the libretti for major avant garde works such as A Letter for Queen Victoria and Einstein on the Beach. In this hour-long performance, first shown in 2006, Chris Goode gathers a number of favourite texts from Knowles’s early output, and tells the story of the unlikely relationship between Knowles and Wilson.
