William Kentridge's RETURN OF ULYSSES at Project Artaud

If the drawings, short films and theatrical installations of William Kentridge have left you un-satiated and longing for more, perhaps you'll consider attending his multi-media opera The Return of Ulysses (yes there's puppets), presented by SFMOMA at Project Artaud Theater this week. I attended the preview last night. Here's a few sneak peaks--
