What is Getting off : Lee Breuer on performance about?

<p>Since he first arrived on the New York art/theatre/performance scene in 1970, Lee Breuer has been at the forefront of the American&nbsp;theatrical avant-garde, creating challenging&nbsp;works both independently and with Mabou&nbsp;Mines, the company he co-founded with JoAnne&nbsp;Akalaitis, Philip Glass, Ruth Maleczech, and&nbsp;David Warrilow. By blending disciplines and&nbsp;techniques from widely different cultures, he&nbsp;has created a unique performance genre fusing&nbsp;sound and musical components, visual arts,&nbsp;and arresting movement/dance/puppetry into a&nbsp;groundbreaking form.</p> <p>Breuer&rsquo;s work as a director includes radical&nbsp;adaptations of major works, such as his celebrated&nbsp;stagings of <em>The Lost Ones</em> by Samuel Beckett,&nbsp;<em>The Gospel at Colonus</em>, inspired by Sophocles,&nbsp;a gender-reversed <em>King Lear</em>, and a revolutionary&nbsp;reinterpretation of Ibsen with <em>Mabou Mines&nbsp;DollHouse</em>.</p> <p>Breuer has also been a prolific writer who&nbsp;redefines the concept of character and the&nbsp;use of biography in such works as <em>The Shaggy&nbsp;Dog Animation, A Prelude to Death in Venice, Hajj,&nbsp;Ecco Porco</em
