...immediate in a long-term sense. It sustains immediacy.RR: Why is your upcoming show subtitled “The Enchanted Forest?”AW: It’s called “The Enchanted Forest” because The Enchanted Forest is a troupe that goes back to Cro-Magnon times—you can check the cave walls for this—and it is about enchantment, and also arboreality, and if you look at Arbor Day, that’s the funniest holiday there is.RR: I did not understand quite a few of the words you just...

In the eponymous theme-park of his second collection, “Pastoralia,” impatient visitors and their bratty children pay to observe individuals dressed up as Cro-Magnons, who are allowed to speak only in grunts in the ersatz cave that is their workplace.
