I came across the blog, Brooklyn Before Now and learned about this:
Walt Whitman is coming back to Brooklyn, as we’ve never seen or heard him before — but, perhaps, as he was always meant to be: Spoken and sung from the mouths of women and men and children. Sung from on high in Fort Greene Park, from down low at the Old Stone House, and from a barge on the East River.
For nine days in May, an international collaborative of performing artists known as Compagnia De Colombari will be presenting “More or Less I Am” — a theatrical and musical presentation of “Song of Myself,” arguably the greatest poem of Walt Whitman’s seminal Leaves of Grass, first published on July 4, 1855, out of a small print shop on Fulton Street in Brooklyn.
