I've just heard (via SF MOMA's e-mail newsletter) that they will be presenting Stein/Thomson's Four Saints in Three Acts sometime in August, in conjunction with SF MOMA's upcoming exhibit, The Steins Collect: Matisse, Picasso, and the Parisian Avant-Garde (I also can't wait to see that show, since I have a long-time thing about Stein).
There will be visuals by "video/performance artist" Kalup Linzy and "original music" by Luciano Chessa (hmm, not sure why they need additional music, but I guess I'll find out).
That's all I know at this point; stay tuned. . . .

Luciano Chessa is god. Don't worry about him.
it's not Luciano Chessa per se that makes me worry, it's the idea that 4 Saints needs more music -- I think what Stein and Thomson did is already enough -- what are they adding, and why do they feel the need? It's not as if 4 Saints is done so often that it really needs some quirky revamp. Having said that, Ensemble Parallele has built up enough good will so that I would give them the benefit of the doubt until I see the show.
