Theatre NOVA presents:
Jorge Luis Borges Gives a Lecture on Anatomy
by Carla Milarch
Musical Score by Michael Riccinto
WORLD PREMIERE
June 6-June 29, 2025
I was a young man when I fell into the dream…
In a magical reality, inside a labyrinth, the famed Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges gives a lecture. At first, it seems to be about anatomy, but that notion quickly gives way as he navigates multiple timelines and universes, in search of the loves of his life. Inspired by Borges’ short stories, and featuring his poetry set to music, this dreamlike play takes us into the fantastical world of one of literature’s most outrageous imaginations.
The cast features Maggie Hilliard, Jonathan Jones, Katherine Lengyel, *Phil Powers, Lauren Routledge and Leif TenBrink. Helmed by Kat Walsh (director), the production team includes Nate Doud (set), Jeff Alder (lights), Mary Perrin (costumes), Shelby Seeley (props), and Elise Blochwitz (stage manager).
