Two pieces of ephemera related to Stanley Silverman’s “Elephant Steps,” a collaborative project with Richard Foreman. The hour-long occult opera mingled traditional features of the genre with episodes of dialogue, video projections, and unconventional lighting. A New York Times review of the show’s opening night commends the creators’ ambition and success, but advises viewers, “Just don’t try to understand it.”
