We haven’t really spared a thought for the Cumaean Sybil since our last look at the epigraph to T. S. Eliot’s grand modernist head-scratcher The Waste Land. “I saw with my own eyes the Sibyl at Cumae hanging in a cage,” the passage reads, “when the boys said to her: ‘Sibyl, what do you want?’ she answered: ‘I want to die.’” (For the record, it’s excerpted from the Satyricon, the bawdy Roman classic by Petronius, and quoted in the original mixed Greek and Latin.) The gloomy lady is on our minds just now thanks to the ever-startling South African mixed-media artist William Kentridge, who has set out to tell her story in six short scenes incorporating live action, projection, and recorded music. This is the show’s U.S. premiere. —Matthew Gurewitsch
