A new play about artist Georgia O鈥橩eeffe and her husband, the photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz, is coming to Teatro Paraguas in Santa Fe on Friday, Aug. 28, through Sunday, Aug. 30. Co-written by and starring married creative partners Valerie and Kim Nuzzo, 鈥淭he Deepest Yes: Stieglitz and O鈥橩eeffe鈥� also features original music by Finn Benham.

The story is told from the point of view of Stieglitz, whose sense of reality has been altered by his habitual use of barbiturates.

鈥淗e was addicted to a drug called Phanodorm that, at first, helped him sleep, and then didn鈥檛,鈥� Valerie Nuzzo said. 鈥溾�� So, we think of Georgia (O鈥橩eeffe) in this play as his dreamtime Georgia. We鈥檙e in Alfred Stieglitz鈥檚 nightmare mind.鈥�

By turning Stieglitz into an unreliable narrator, the Nuzzos were able to write with a greater sense of creative freedom, she said, and not simply present 鈥渁 historical diorama.鈥�

鈥淭here are a lot of people who are experts on Georgia. They know so much about her,鈥� Valerie Nuzzo said. 鈥淏ut this is a poetic translation that comes through us, as artists, telling a kind of magical truth about our relationships with each other and how we love each other even though we鈥檙e messed up.鈥�

The play contains frequent allusions to 鈥淔aust,鈥� an early 19th century play by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about a magician who makes a pact with the Devil.

鈥淎lfred Stieglitz said often, 鈥業f you want to understand me, read 鈥淔aust.鈥濃�� So, we did,鈥� Valerie Nuzzo said. 鈥淗e really sold his soul for art and lost everything for it. So, we mushed them together. We smashed the 鈥楩aust鈥� story into the story of their love.鈥�

Stieglitz and O鈥橩eeffe had a passionate but often unhealthy relationship, she said, and 鈥淭he Deepest Yes鈥� does not shy away from exploring the dark side of that relationship.

鈥淗e was a very controlling person,鈥� Nuzzo said. 鈥溾�� But, at the same time, Stieglitz was the thing that enabled O鈥橩eeffe to continue making art and to see the worth in her art. In a way, it began her life (as an artist) as much as it was torturous for both of them to love each other.鈥�

The Nuzzos spent over two years researching Stieglitz and O鈥橩eeffe. Their research included reading over 20,000 of the couple鈥檚 letters.

鈥淚 have to be honest. About a year in, I said, 鈥楬e鈥檚 horrible. (Stieglitz) is a horrible person. What are we doing?鈥� But thank goodness (we kept going), because he鈥檚 not horrible. He鈥檚 just all too human,鈥� she said.

A key to unlocking Stieglitz鈥檚 psychology was recognizing how much he was affected by being bullied as a child, Kim Nuzzo said.

鈥淎s a young boy of 9, he was sent off to boarding school, and he was there without protection. I don鈥檛 know if you know anything about boarding schools, but when you leave a group of younger boys alone with older boys, oftentimes it turns into a 鈥楲ord of the Flies鈥� story. Boys turn what may seem like initiation rites into torture,鈥� Kim Nuzzo said. 鈥溾�� So, he鈥檚 reading 鈥楩aust鈥� at the age of 9 in German, and the story of 鈥楩aust,鈥� he said, gave him great comfort.鈥�

鈥淔aust鈥� was one of the best known plays to emerge from the proto-romanticist Sturm und Drang (鈥淪torm and Stress鈥�) movement. Both Stieglitz and O鈥橩eeffe resonated with the Sturm und Drang notion that art should communicate strong emotions.

鈥淭hey were all about feeling,鈥� Valerie Nuzzo said. 鈥淚t was like Sturm und Drang. (Stieglitz) said, 鈥楥an I photograph what I feel?鈥� And (O鈥橩eeffe) asked, 鈥楥an I paint what I feel and do not understand?鈥� So, they had that in common.鈥�

The Nuzzos have been writing about creative couples for over two decades, Valerie Nuzzo said, as part of their 鈥淧assionate Collaborators鈥� series. A previous play in the series focused on the husband-and-wife comic duo of George Burns and Gracie Allen.

In 鈥淭he Deepest Yes,鈥� Valerie Nuzzo plays O鈥橩eeffe and Kim Nuzzo plays Stieglitz. They both play other characters, as well, often with masks.

鈥淚 play six different characters, and Kim plays three, and we have, like, a festival of masks,鈥� Valerie Nuzzo said. 鈥淚 play the Deer Woman, and I use the deer head from one of (O鈥橩eeffe鈥檚) paintings. 鈥� And we have Faust and Mephistopholes. 鈥� It鈥檚 great fun to get to work with masks.鈥�

Benham鈥檚 musical score for 鈥淭he Deepest Yes鈥� is contemporary and expressionistic but also references classical music, which was O鈥橩eeffe鈥檚 favorite genre, and jazz, which Stieglitz loved.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not quite an electronic soundtrack, even though some of the sounds are associated with that,鈥� Benham said. 鈥淚 use a teeny-tiny pocket synthesizer, a Korg Ribbon synthesizer, that鈥檚 an analog synth. I also use a Roland Juno-DS for my main keyboard, so I have a huge library of sounds. 鈥� But the music itself explores jazz and classical territory 鈥� with some more harsh, almost industrial sounds paired with it.鈥�

As troubled as O鈥橩eeffe鈥檚 and Stieglitz鈥檚 relationship was, Valerie Nuzzo said, the love the couple felt was real.

鈥淲e are all messed up in some way, and we love each other anyway,鈥� she said. 鈥�(O鈥橩eeffe) was completely devoted to (Stieglitz). At the end of our play, she quotes Goethe. She says, 鈥楢 complete devotion and a sense of bliss must endure eternally.鈥� 鈥楨ternally,鈥� she says. 鈥業t would be despair if it were to end.鈥� So, it鈥檚 a deep love.鈥�

Note: 鈥淭he Deepest Yes鈥� contains brief nudity and depictions of adult themes, including drug addiction, which may not be suitable for all audiences.
