This original work opened to standing ovations at the Barbican in London in 2009. 13 Seconds: The Tension of Opposites is a book of verbatim prose describing the dramatic stories of how each piece was created and featured in his multi-media work The Tension of Opposites. Topics that the prose touch on include 9/11, building community, the inter-generational divide, issues of the wealthy and the poor, religion and beliefs, and the struggle between man and nature. The book features interviews and statements from people who have experienced these situations, ranging from Hiroshima to the financial crisis. The testimonies are interwoven into mosaics of poetry and prose that formed the libretto for The Tensions of Opposites, a large-scale multimedia work that opened to standing ovations at the Barbican in London in 2009.
