New Light on Riboflavin

A newly commissioned theatrical production by Kevin Killian

Berkeley, on the eve of Dan Flavin's historic exhibition, a classic car crashes into the walls of Mario Ciampi's Brutalist University Art Museum. From the rubble a lone figure emerges, determined to make use of Berkeley's brain power and fabled social justice to invent a new vitamin to help cure polio. In a subplot the newly invented fluorescent light threatens to make obsolete the old fashioned electric lightbulb of Thomas Edison.
