How do you stay afloat in adult life without putting a bullet through your head at age 50? That was the premise of the speech This is water by American writer David Foster Wallace. Wallace read the text in 2005 at the graduation ceremony of a prestigious college. Three years later he hanged himself with a garden hose in his garage. He lived to be 46.
Three companies are creating three performances about the person and work of David Foster Wallace. Starting points are the author's biography, his addiction, genius, insecurity, depression and hyper-consciousness. The first part, DAVID or How We Conceived, explores how to live a meaningful life, a life that is connected to others and to the world, so that you can at least make it to fifty without putting a bullet through your head.
