The Robert Wilson Yearbook -- Launch

The Robert Wilson Yearbook -- Launch

Thursday, Nov. 5, 6:30 pm

Join us for the launch of the Robert Wilson Yearbook. Founded in 2025 by the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center, the Robert Wilson Yearbook is a peer-reviewed annual journal devoted to the study, documentation, and critical exploration of the life, work, and influence of Robert Wilson (1941–2025). Known for his radical reimagining of theatre, opera, performance, and visual art, Wilson’s practice shaped global performance aesthetics for more than half a century. 

The Yearbook publishes essays, archival research, artist reflections, performance documentation, and creative responses that illuminate Wilson’s artistry and legacy. By encouraging historical, theoretical, and practice-based approaches, the journal seeks to advance scholarship and foster interdisciplinary dialogue between theatre studies, performance studies, visual culture, and contemporary art. The Yearbook is fully online, freely accessible, and committed to bridging academic rigor with artistic innovation. Panel and reception.
