An evening of conversation celebrating the publication of 'The Space Behind the Face: Life Stories', the memoir by the late theater and visual artist Robert Wilson. BAM presents actor and writer Keith McDermott, who helped Wilson complete the manuscript before his death in July 2025, talking with a group of Wilson's associates and creative collaborators. The book blends intimate remembrance, cultural history, and a road map for living an artistic life. Books purchased at the event will be marked with a special Robert Wilson stamp.
