Known for her exotic beauty, Acquanetta—aka Mildred Davenport—was the star of such cult 1940s horror films as "Captive Wild Woman, "Jungle Woman", "The Sword of Monte Cristo", and "Tarzan and the Leopard Woman", before she disappeared from public life. With a soaring and often comic score from Bang on a Can cofounder Michael Gordon and text by librettist Deborah Artman, "Acquanetta" examines the ways in which the movie camera manipulates how we see and are seen. This visual and musical tour de force is directed by Tony-nominee Daniel Fish.
