I have made cuts, as an editor does, but I didn’t introduce words of my own. Even abbreviation changes content, and even character.

The Fizzles An adaptation of Samuel Beckett and Jasper Johns’sFoirades/Fizzles by the Piehole theater group 155 Freeman Street, Brooklyn, NY June 4, 2012 Doors 7:30 p.m., performance 8:00 p.m., $7 suggested donation  In 1973 and 1974, Samuel Beckett translated a set of his prose poems, Foirades, into English as Fizzles. (The French “diarrhea” or “shit” becomes a slightly more ambiguous English.) Foirades/Fizzles entered into limited circulation as an elegant collaboration with Jasper Johns, published by Petersburg Press; in 1976, Grove Press produced an expanded run. Johns’s etchings emphasize his calligraphic and repetitive style. Of one fizzle, Marjorie Perloff has commented that the “phrasing is that of a telegram.” On June 4, Triple Canopy will host an hour-long interpretation of Beckett and Johns’s artist book by the New York–based Piehole theater group. Incorporating theater, dance, electroacoustic sound, and live and recorded video projection, Piehole’s The Fizzles promises a compellingly imperfect meeting of media.  Above: Two works by Jasper Johns from Foirades/Fizzles, 1976.
