Singing and commenting on songs from the '50s and '60s to the present, the Aesthetic Realism Theatre Co. illustrate these sentences from a lesson, poet, critic, and founder of Aesthetic Realism, Eli Siegel gave to a rock musician. He said: "Rock 'n' roll has the answer to people's problem of, on the one hand, wanting to be very private and sad, and on the other, wanting to have something like sunlight and public force. Every person has to make a one of the most secret thing in him and the most public thing. Rock'n' roll shows it can be done." Videography: Robert Murphy
