Saw Richard Foreman's Panic: How to Be Happy at St Mark's Church last night (thru April 19th). On the wire-framed dollhouse set, signature Pavlovian bells and puppet-show violence punctuate cryptic declarations, as a quad of stereotyped males and female misfits (?) enact ritualized desires and frustration. Children's games play out endlessly in the adult id and Foreman's been working on his Gordian Knot for for 30+ years. No how-to-be-happy tips except: "If I knew then what I know now, I'd be aberrant."
