Neal Kosaly-Meyer is a Seattle-based composer and performer. He is currently dedicating 17 years to learning and performing each chapter of Finnegans Wake, one chapter a year. The performances involve simple but thoughtful and detailed sets, props, costume, sound and lighting, and have been presented since 2014 around the second Saturday of December at the Chapel Performance Space at the Good Shepherd Center in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. Chapter 4 is scheduled for December 16, 2017. Previous chapters have also been reprised, in a less formal “chamber” setting, at Gallery 1412 in the Seattle’s Capitol Hill/Central district area.
He can be contacted regarding the project at nealkosaly@gmail.com. Latest updates and upcoming performances will be listed at the A Finnegans Wake Project Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1520972724852770/
