Creative Dialogue: Outcast and Society

Two performances this season at the Center, Disfarmer and Hotel Cassiopeia, take us into the worlds of well-known outcasts, suggesting how their removal from society allowed them to produce art that captures, honors and creates magic from a world that we sometimes take for granted. A panel led by David Serlin considers the role of the “loner” and the power the outsider might have to see society more clearly.
