SYNOPSIS

TWST takes as its starting point the arrival of the Beatles in New York for their August 1965 concert at Shea Stadium and, as its title, a Beatles song that already anticipates a time when the present moment will have become a haunting past, neither retrievable nor forgettable. But the frame of reference steadily broadens. Adjacent realities of 1965 are juxtaposed-the New York World’s Fair, the Watts riots filtering through from the East Coast on television. A cast of thousands summoned up-each separate sphere. each face and place given equal weight, each instant a center. Within these domains ghostly uncorporeal presences circulate, their words audible-figures of vanished youth still inhabiting these locations whose gritty photographic textures confirm their reality. A journey to the hidden core of that world both gone and palpably present.
