Fusiform Gyrus
“The Drama Desk-nominated director of Beardo defies the limitations of the Here Arts Center’s downstairs space with a production that is imaginatively staged…Heyman has now over and over demonstrated that she is the director of choice for plays and musicals....” — Stage Buddy
Five brassy horns and two eccentric scientists leapfrog from epiphany to epiphany. Fusiform Gyrus – A Septet for Two Scientists and Five Horns celebrates the resilience of friendship, the power of music to make us feel like anything can happen, and the rigorous tradition of scientific discovery in a world where scientific truth is often challenged.
